The Alexander Hamilton Society was mentioned in a piece — How Conservatives Captured the Law — published on Monday in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

The article, written by Michael Avery and Danielle McLaughlin, was published in coordination with the release date of their new book, The Federalist Society: How Conservatives Took the Law Back From Liberals.

“The Federalist Society has been so successful that organizations outside the field of law and policy have adopted its model… The Alexander Hamilton Society, dedicated to foreign, economic, and national-security policy, was founded in 2010. The group believes that foreign and domestic policy must be shaped to defend the principles of individual liberty, limited government, economic freedom, the rule of law, human dignity, and democracy. The Adam Smith Society was formed recently to achieve in business schools what the Federalist Society achieved in law schools, exposing students to the philosophical and moral underpinnings of capitalism. All three groups are building institutions based on student chapters. And all three groups subscribe to principles of individual liberty, limited government, and free markets.”

In the March/April issue of World Affairs, AHS speaker Joshua Muravchik questions the intellectual influence of Professor Edward Said in “Enough Said: The False Scholarship of Edward Said.”

“Columbia University’s English Department may seem a surprising place from which to move the world, but this is what Professor Edward Said accomplished. He not only transformed the West’s perception of the Israel-Arab conflict, he also led the way toward a new, post-socialist life for leftism in which the proletariat was replaced by “people of color” as the redeemers of humankind. During the ten years that have passed since his death there have been no signs that his extraordinary influence is diminishing.”

Muravchik, a frequent contributor to World Affairs, is a fellow at the Foreign Policy Institute of the Johns Hopkins University School for Advanced International Studies.

On Thursday, March 28th, our Johns Hopkins University Chapter held a panel discussion titled “Should America Intervene.”
