The Space Between Us: Commentaries on a Divided Culture is the public face of conversations—arguments, really, and sometimes heated ones—between a small-c conservative with anarchist leanings and a centre-left progressive who thinks bureaucracies sometimes get a bad rap. We’ve spent two decades hashing out our differences in ways that have greatly deepened understanding and, sometimes, produced agreement between us. We perceive in our increasingly ideological, increasingly divided culture an inability to communicate across difference—an inability that has put the west in some peril. At a time when neofascist and ultraleft movements seem nearly aligned in their efforts to undermine liberal democracies, we think it’s time for the Centre to hold.
