Really enjoyed this, and agree on the focus on economics is harming conservatives - we feel it's much safer ground, so we've accepted the principle of Belloc's Servile State. As you point out we have a huge depth of not just philosophers but writers we can draw from, and the way conservatives conduct themselves their politics is pretty poor return for such a rich intellectual tradition. And radically agree on the issues of making Conservativism place-based; I wrote something recently about how we can do that using pubs as an example, I'd love to know what you think; https://thecritic.co.uk/postliberal-pubs/
