In this Web interview, Professor Patrick Deneen sits down with Senior Editor Mark Bauerlein to discuss one of the most dismaying episodes for conservatives in recent years: the March 2015 controversy over Indiana's religious freedom legislation. For weeks, the State of Indiana and its conservative populace was subject to outlandish condemnation for their efforts to balance anti-discrimination law with religious conscience. As Deneen details, taking off from his June 2015 article in First Things, “The Power Elite", an unexpected party joined the fray on the side of the progressives: corporate America. Walmart and others, it turned out, decided to go with the Left. Deneen explains what that sudden partisanship by Big Business means for the future.
