National Affairs is a quarterly journal of essays about domestic policy, political economy, society, culture, and political thought. Founded and edited by Yuval Levin, it aims to help Americans think a little more clearly about our public life, and rise a little more capably to the challenge of self-government. Each National Affairs podcast features an interview with one or more of our authors. Daniel Wiser, Jr., and Devorah Goldman, the assistant editors of National Affairs, host the conversations.
