A casablanca for conservatives

If Friedrich Engels were still around, could he endow a university chair for Karl Marx?

Pity the academic conservative. Having enjoyed tenure at Harvard University, the London School of Economics, and New York University, and now a steady gig at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, the historian Niall Ferguson now plays the victim . He will soon decamp, he lets us imagine, to “a new kind of university—the University of Austin.”
