The latest essay every day.
A principal figure in the post–World War II conservative movement, Willmoore Kendall was a political scientist noted for his views on the meaning and nature of the American political tradition. Kendall grew up in Oklahoma the son of a blind Methodist minister. His father carefully supervised his primary and secondary education so that Kendall advanced rapidly through the grades.
Getting the Pressure Right
Written on: May 8, 2026 by George Carey In closed-loop hydronic heating systems, pressure stability is everything. It affects heat delivery, system efficiency, component life and overall reliability. Two components sit at the heart of this balance: the pressure reducing valve (PRV) and the diaphragm expansion tank. While both are simple devices in concept, their proper setup is often overlooked, leading to many of the common issues seen in the field.
Air to Water Heat Pumps
Written on: March 10, 2026 by George Carey With the continued focus on electrification, there is much discussion about using heat pumps to displace fossil fuel appliances. Of course, heat pumps have been around for a long time in the HVAC industry. When discussing heat pumps, historically there have been three categories: Air-to-Air heat pumps Water-to-Air heat pumps Water-to-Water heat pumps In general, heat pumps are devices that can convert low temperature heat into higher temperature heat.
Steam Trap Performance
Written on: January 15, 2026 by George Carey The Key to Two-Pipe Steam System Efficiency When customers complain about excessive fuel consumption in a two-pipe steam system, the root cause is often misunderstood—or completely overlooked. The most common and most costly culprit is improper steam trap operation.
The Importance of Proper Piping in Replacement Steam Boilers
Written on: November 17, 2025 by George Carey Steam heating systems have been reliably serving buildings for more than a century. They are still found in countless schools, houses of worship, apartment buildings and older homes across the Northeast. These systems were designed in an era when craftmanship was paramount and details mattered, and many of them outlasted multiple generations of occupants.
Lord Carey's speech to the House of Lords on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, it is a great honour to participate in the debate. I particularly thank the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton, for her excellent opening speech. I support the Bill. As some know, I have been on both sides of this debate over the years. I voted against Lord Joffe’s Bill in 2005, but then, as I went deeper into the subject, I began to realise that the Christian faith had very little to say directly about this modern issue.
The Role of AI in the Future of HVAC
Written on: September 15, 2025 by George Carey The heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) industry is undergoing a technological transformation unlike any in its history. For decades, progress in the field was driven primarily by improvements in mechanical design, materials and energy efficiency standards. Now, a new force is emerging that has the potential to reshape every stage of HVAC operation: artificial intelligence (AI).
Understanding Low Voltage Wiring
Written on: July 8, 2025 by George Carey In modern electrical systems—especially those used in HVAC, lighting control and building automation—low voltage wiring and relays play an essential role. Most of these systems operate at 24 volts AC or DC and are designed for safety, efficiency and control. Despite their lower power levels, improper installation or misunderstanding how they function can lead to malfunctions, wasted energy or possible system failure.
How Conservatives and Liberals View “The Federalist”
Conservatives—American and otherwise—have always held The Federalist in extremely high regard.

Assisted dying is inevitable and necessary, no matter the outcome in Parliament
Whatever the fate of Kim Leadbeater’s bill at Second Reading tomorrow it is inevitable that assisted dying laws will come about within a few short years in the UK. This is not simply my reading of opinion polls which show the public overwhelmingly in favour, including many religious believers, but because this is one of the great moral reckonings of our time.
I'm an ex-Archbishop of Canterbury and this is why I changed my mind on assisted dying
In the past I have been in the same camp as the Archbishop of Canterbury on assisted dying even though we both know that Christian teaching is not always crystal clear on medical ethics. My change of heart came about when I came across the suffering of people like Tony Nicklinson, who died shortly after a court refused his application to die with a doctor’s help.
The Church must not turn a blind eye to the impact of mass migration on Britain
Letter to the Sunday Telegraph, 10 Feb 2024 I am a strong supporter of the role of bishops in the House of Lords, not least because they are one of very few groups in the House that has strong regional experience and support. Their voice is respected by other peers and on the whole heeded. But I believe they are wrong on theissueof migration.
Autumn Edition 2023 - Landlord & Tenant - Leases - UK
Welcome to this Autumn edition of AgriLore. In recent months, there have been a few notable announcements from our governments which will impact the agricultural sector and will no doubt continue to keep our Agriculture team busy. First, the Agriculture (Wales) Act 2023 came into force in August, providing a legislative framework for the future of Welsh agricultural policy. A summary of the key provisions of the Act can be found here.
Common Ground: The Founding Era
With increasing frequency since the turn of the twentieth century, many scholars have raised troubling questions about the founders and their motives. Did they really believe in republican government, or were they intent on constructing a system that would protect elite interests under the rubric of a republican form? Can we take them at their word, believing what they said and wrote publicly, or were they advancing a hidden agenda?
Lord Carey writes to the Times on Synod's vote for gay blessings
11 Feb 2023 Sir, I have no doubt that General Synod’s decision to allow blessings to same-sex couples will delight many (report, Feb 9). It will concern others, including me, who believe that marriage can be a true sacramental rite only between a man and a woman in a lifelong union of love. It is obvious that the next step can only be the acceptance of same-sex marriages.
The Popular Roots of Conservatism
The chief difficulty in assessing the state of contemporary American conservatism is arriving at some understanding of its nature and meaning. What makes this task so difficult is that conservatism, unlike liberalism, is not an ideology.
Republicanism and "The Federalist" Papers ~ The Imaginative Conservative
The first essay of The Federalist provides a convenient point of departure for exploring Publius’s conception of republicanism and the problems associated with it.
Moral & Political Foundations of the American Founding

Common Ground: The Founding Era
A uniqueness attaches to the American political tradition that serves to provide a focus to its study.
James Wilson: Political Thought and the Constitutional Convention
Scholars familiar with the writings and career of James Wilson are struck by the discrepancy between the status accorded him by most constitutional historians and the magnitude of his contributions to our founding.[1] In their view, Wilson’s record clearly entitles him to a place among the honored “elite” of the founding era such as Madison, Hamilton, Jefferson, Washington, or Adams, a status which has so far been denied him.[2] Indeed, a mere recital of his activities and accomplishments...
The Extended Republic Theory of James Madison
The American experience with self-government has long been the object of admiration by foreign observers. Principally for this reason students have poured over the records, debates, and pronouncements of our founding period with an eye to discovering the principles, theories, and beliefs which undergird the system and seem to have contributed to its success. Their interest has been more than academic.
The Moral Center & America’s Future: James Bryce's "American Commonwealth"
There was a time not so long ago when Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America and James Bryce’s American Commonwealth would be mentioned in the same breath as the two most insightful works on the character and operations of American democracy. No longer is this the case. Tocqueville’s work, particularly given the lavish attention devoted to it in recent decades, has almost totally eclipsed Bryce’s.
What are Gen Alpha’s values coming out of COVID?

The 2020 COVID effect: What matters to people of all ages has changed dramatically
On the heels of such a difficult year and bitter election, it’s little surprise that so much attention is being given to how divided Americans are. But outside of arguments about politics and ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Americans across different demographics have something profound in common: They've changed in similar ways this year. Their emotional priorities have been realigned. Every year my company The Family Room surveys tens of thousands of people.
In Defense of the Old Republic: The Problem of the Imperial Presidency
The dangers associated with the imperial presidency are compounded by an awareness that, while new and more expansive theories of executive authority are seriously advanced, the office is not attracting individuals of high moral and intellectual character. The Philadelphia Constitution may be dead, but the basic problems which troubled the Framers—e.g., preserving the rule of law, preventing oppressive government—are still relevant, albeit in the new and different context.
The Moral Center & America’s Future: James Bryce's "American Commonwealth"
James Bryce’s relatively optimistic view of America’s future relies on the tacit premise that its people will retain the moral center, inherited largely from their English forebears. His work, then, is valuable, if only to remind us of that heritage. It is also foreboding in suggesting that without this moral center troubled times await the American commonwealth.
New Bible Commentary
"For many years I recommended the old New Bible Commentary as the best of its kind on the market. I expect to find myself saying the same of this new work that replaces it." J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God "The 21st century edition of the New Bible Commentary will prove as valuable to the rising generations as its predecessors did to those of us who are older." D. Stuart Briscoe, author and pastor "IVP is to be congratulated on producing this new edition of the New Bible Commentary.
How COVID-19 is changing families
By: George Carey The terrible human toll of COVID-19 notwithstanding, quarantine has been a very good thing for the kids media industry. Ratings are up, viewership is spiking, and co-viewing has never been stronger. Of course, this good news is offset by a decline in advertising revenues. But for many of our clients, the question we are hearing most is not how to survive the pandemic, but how to turn the short-term audience spikes into permanent viewership gains.
Recovering America's Constitutional Morality
Fifty years after its appearance in 1970, The Basic Symbols of the American Political Tradition by Willmoore Kendall and George Carey remains a leading interpretation of our tradition for the opponents of not just one, but two schools of thought.
Lost Family Traditions Are Making a Comeback in the Pandemic, and It's Warming Our Hearts
A new survey shows parents are bringing back lost traditions during the coronavirus pandemic. Here are the ways families are coming together and having fun. By George Carey May 27, 2020 Game nights. Homemade obstacle courses. Sundae Sundays. These are just a few of the family traditions suddenly experiencing a resurgence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What Is American Political Theory?
November 12, 2019 By George W. Carey The following is excerpted from George W. Carey’s excellent little book, A Student’s Guide to American Political Thought. What is American political theory? There is no universal agreement about what constitutes politics or the political, as the efforts to define the boundaries of political science over the decades will attest.
Where To, Youth Wellness?
by George Carey , June 3, 2009 At the risk of stating the painfully obvious, the youth wellness issue is here to stay. In fact, with a new and socially minded administration in place, the ever-growing concern of parents and the public health community, the focus on youth wellness will get even more intense! Less obvious are the ways the food industry can address wellness.

Engage:Kids 6-11: Seven 'Rules of the Road' to Success For Better-For-You Kid Food Products
"Better for You" or healthier kid food products are the hottest battleground for food marketers nationwide. Yet, as in most battlegrounds, the field is overwhelmed with "dead soldiers," or "BFY" products that seemed great in the lab, on the PowerPoint, or in research exercises. In 2006, the BFY kid food success rate was below 5% among more than 100 new product entries, according to our estimates of those we could identify.
Shimon Peres’ vision of religious reconciliation for the Middle East - Opinion - Israel News
Shimon Peres once told me, "Your lot deals with absolutes and we are pragmatists." He and I were discussing the difference between political and religious dialogue. I think with so-called Islamic State on the scene today, he might well have moderated that view. He was a great man and I met him several times during the course of the religious track of the peace process which he invited me and others to embark upon.
Restoring Our Constitutional Morality
Our cultural unwritten constitution has been damaged by decades of conflict and abuse. It will not be restored through adoption of one or even several reforms. Nor will our operational constitution be “fixed” through even fundamental changes in formal law. Lacking an appropriate constitutional morality, those who govern will continue to do so through quasi-law, with all the consequences attendant thereto.

Bringing America Home
Bringing America Home: How America Lost Her Way and How We Can Find Our Way Back by Tom Pauken (208 pages, Chronicles Press, 2010) I must immediately enter a disclaimer. As Tom Pauken notes at the outset of his book, he was a student of mine during his undergraduate days at Georgetown in the 1960s. He was, I should add, a bright, inquisitive, and introspective student, the kind of student who makes teaching a pleasure.
