It seems that Brink Lindsey and Will Wilkinson are leaving the Cato Institute under circumstances that certainly make it seem that the higher-ups decided the Lindsey/Wilkinson critique of conservative/libertarian fusionism is unkosher. Wilkinson’s blogging for the Economist and Lindsey has a new gig at the Kaufmann Foundation. These sound like good jobs and good fits for those two, but as someone who’s interested in their ideological project, it’s too bad to see that it seems to be lacking the kind of intellectual support it would need to work.
