Dear Reader,
I hope you've had an intellectually stimulating week. If not, we have the cure in the form of seven thought-provoking essays.
A must-read this week is John Lloyd on how Russia's kleptocracy has spread corruption to all corners of the globe. And Spencer Case's review of Dissident Philosophers: Voices Against the Political Current of the Academy, is a fascinating entrée into the ideas of contemporary conservative and libertarian intellectuals. Also don't miss Australian journalist, Bernard Lane, on the troubling consequences of gender ideology in schools.
Until next week.
Claire
