  • The Urban Future - Views From The Left Coast

    With an all star lineup including:
    Charles Blain- Urban Reform Institute
    Karla López del Río- Community Development Proffesional
    Ryan Streeter- State Farm James Q.  Wilson Scholar
    Natalie Gochnour- Associate Dean in the David Eccles School of Business
    Joel Kotkin- Presidential Fellow in Urban Future, Feudal Future Podcast Host

    This event will be moderated by Henrik Cronqvist and panelists will discuss how the Western US, a long-time innovator in developing the urban form, is now experiencing issues from homelessness to high housing prices and the impact of regulation.

  • A Newsom Nation: Is Gavin Next?

    On this episode of Feudal Future, hosts Joel Kotkin and Marshall Toplansky are joined by author Dan Walters, and professor Lori Cox Han, to speak about the implications of a Gavin Newsom presidential run.

    Dan Walters has been a journalist for more than 60 years, spending all but a few of those years working for California newspapers. He began his professional career in 1960, at age 16, at the Humboldt Times in Eureka, while still attending high school, and turned down a National Merit scholarship to continue working as a journalist. At one point in his career, at age 22, he was the nation’s youngest daily newspaper editor. The Hanford Sentinel was the first of three newspaper editor positions before joining the Sacramento Union’s Capitol bureau in 1975, just as Jerry Brown began his governorship. Walters later became the Union’s Capitol bureau chief, and in 1981 began writing the state’s only daily newspaper column devoted to California political, economic and social events. In 1984, he and the column moved to The Sacramento Bee and in 2017 to CalMatters.org. 

    Lori Cox Han is Professor of Political Science, Doy B. Henley Chair of American Presidential Studies and the Director of Presidential Studies Program. Her research and teaching expertise include the presidency, women and politics, media and politics, and political leadership.

  • Progressive Conservatism

    On this episode of Feudal Future, hosts Joel Kotkin and Marshall Toplansky are joined by Francis H Buckley,  Foundation Professor at George Mason University, to speak about progressive conservatism.

    Frank Buckley is a Foundation Professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University. He is a frequent media guest and has appeared on Morning Joe, CNN, Rush Limbaugh, C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, Newsmax, Radio France, the CBC, NPR, and many others.

    He is a Senior Editor at The American Spectator, a columnist for the New York Post, and has written for the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, US News, National Review, the American Conservative, the New Criterion, Real Clear Politics, the National Post, the Telegraph, amongst many others.

    https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Conservatism-Republicans-Americas-Governing/dp/1641772530

    "After the Democratic Party divided Americans along gender and racial lines, F.H. Buckley argues that the Republican Party can become the natural governing party again by uniting Americans around a return to their roots—championing the common good, liberty, and equality."
