The Enduring George Will

In 1983, George Will published Statecraft as Soulcraft: What Government Does. Thirty-​six years later, in 2019, he published The Conservative Sensibility. Both books concern themselves with virtue and the higher things. Both recognize an enduring human nature, a degree of malleability of human beings, and the role of government in malleating them. Between the two books, the drift changes, but I do not see deep conflict between the two books.
