Who would be a Conservative? – Kate Andrews vs Michael Gove

<div>It’s a special (and emotional) edition of <em>Coffee House Shots</em> this Saturday because it is the last with Kate Andrews on this side of the Atlantic. She joins our editor Michael Gove and political correspondent James Heale for a debate on ideology. Kate – a liberal, in the classical British sense – explains exactly why she is not a Conservative and the various tenets that distinguish liberalism from conservatism, whilst Michael makes the case for being a 'pessimistic' conservative. <br><br>So, what makes a liberal? What makes a conservative? And was Hayek right in saying that while there isn’t much to choose between these two political creeds, ultimately, they need each other. <br><br>Produced by Cindy Yu and Oscar Edmondson.<br><br>Kate Andrews' suggested reading on liberalism: <br><br>F. A. Hayek: <em>The Road to Serfdom </em></div><br><div>Adam Smith: <em>The Wealth of Nations</em></div><br><div>Deirdre McCloskey: <em>Why Liberalism Works</em></div><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
