Writing at NRO, Peter Wood (who has been honored by the Pope Center for his work in higher ed) gives us this thoughtful essay on the subject of, as he puts it, the New Anger. His lead examplar is Jonathan Chait and in particular his vitriolic response to the suggestion by Brink Lindsey that libertarians and liberals ought to be allies on some issues at least.

Peter also mentions his new book, which promises to be a brilliant read. I’m requesting a copy today.
