Richard Nixon’s Liberal Legacy
Was Richard Nixon responsible for the rightward turn of the Republican Party, or was he in fact the “the last liberal Republican”? John R Price, who worked on social policy in the Nixon White House, has written a book making the case that Nixon has been misunderstood, pointing to plans to reform welfare to introduce something like a universal basic income and expand health insurance. John Price will be in conversation with RAI Fellow, Dr Mitch Robertson about Nixon’s complex legacy.

Discussion followed by wine reception.
