Yuval Levin And Gabriel Rossman On Civil Society

I think that these Yuval Levin posts on civil society and politics go along very well this recent Gabriel Rossman post over at The American Scene. Rossman’s post is especially good at thinking through how the left conceives of the government as the primary avenue for dealing with our relational natures and the dangers posed by intermediary institutions to people who think “government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together”.
