AEI President Arthur Brooks has a new book out, The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier and More Prosperous America. In it, Brooks offers a fresh vision for conservatism as a movement for social and economic justice — one that fights poverty, promotes equal opportunity, and celebrates earned success. It is an inclusive movement with a positive agenda to help people to lead happier, more hopeful, and more satisfying lives. Here, Brooks answers a few questions on his motivation for writing the book, what we can learn from the War on Poverty, and advice for improving how conservatives communicate.
