Cooke, author of The Conservatarian Manifesto: Libertarians, Conservatives, and the Fight for the Right’s Future, about why so many people like to call themselves socially liberal and fiscally conservative, why conservatives should make peace with gay marriage but not with abortion-on-demand, and whether he sees a presidential candidate who is ready to embrace the principles of conservatarianism.
