Abstract

The article explores the potential of neoconservative thought as a response to the challenges posed by Trumpism and global populism. It highlights the origins of neoconservatism in the 20th century, emphasizing its founders' focus on the intersection of morality and politics, and their belief in the importance of character in shaping society. The article argues that neoconservatives advocate for a return to basic virtues and the strengthening of mediating institutions, suggesting that their insights could help restore faith in the American dream and address the moral and spiritual crises facing contemporary society.
