That\u2019s despite spending his early years as a serious communist agitator. James Patterson and Daniel Flynn discuss the evolution of Meyer\u2019s thought and the impact of his legacy. Flynn\u2019s book synthesizes a large quantity of recently-uncovered material on Meyer, offering a more complete and nuanced picture than has been available heretofore. What lessons does Meyer\u2019s life and career offer for the conservative movement today? Related Links The Man Who Invented Conservatism&amp;nbsp;by Daniel J.
