Josh Bowman talks with Theodore Madrid, a Ph.D. candidate studying politics at Hillsdale College's Graduate School of Statesmanship. This episode begins a series interviewing our first ever cohort of conference fellows. Theodore is specifically a “Nisbet Fellow,” and our conversation ranges over the work of John Carroll, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, religious liberty, and the role of commercialism and republicanism at the American Founding.
We also both mention, and strongly recommend, this related book: Our Dear-Bought Liberty: Catholics and Religious Toleration in Early America, by Michael D. Breidenbach. (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674247239)
