Alistair Miller is the editor of the Salisbury Review, a magazine dedicated to conservative thought.

We discuss the origins of the magazine, how it was set up by the Salisbury Group as an antidote to Thatcherism and how it differs in it conservatism from liberal markets.

We cover the Reviews"s thoughts on protectionism, localism, and how as a nation we may of lost our national identity - and therefore culture. We discuss the Salisbury Review, its conservative ideals, and the importance of balancing market efficiency with community values.

Alistair discusses the essence of conservatism as a philosophy of love. He explores the rise of a meritocratic elite and the implications of social cohesion, emphasising the importance of cultural inheritance and learning from the past to shape a better future.
