Martha Nussbaum, has a piece in the latest Dissent. Objectively counter-revolutionary.

Two Cheers for rigid gender roles! Now, elshtain writes for neo-con journals like First Things and defends the war on just war grounds.

Ron Grigor Suny, good lefty scholar on Soviet nationalities, see his occasional pieces in NLR.

William Sewell, cited by Bowles and Gintis.
