INTERVIEW – ARTHUR BROOKS – president of the American Enterprise Institute and author of new book “The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America”

ABOUT BOOK: Many Americans feel caught between two dispiriting political choices: ineffective compassion and heartless pragmatism. They know that outmoded redistribution yields bad results. But there seems to be no conservative alternative for those struggling to get by. Arthur Brooks, best-selling author and AEI’s president, has a plan to change that. His new book, “The Conservative Heart,” envisions a bold “new right” that fights for happiness, unity, and social justice.
