All right-thinking conservatives must resist the retrograde possibility of parents exiting the job market to care for their own children

More seriously, when it feels no shame in saying the quiet anti-family part out loud like this it really is time to kick the cuckoo ideology of GDP growth and market worship out of the conservative nest
Excellent recent piece on just this theme by @herandrews for @AmerCompass americancompass.org/essays/why-bot…
One of the first pieces I ever wrote for @UnHerd was a socially conservative case against growthism, and I stand by every word today: unherd.com/2019/09/why-co… 
And here’s a cracking piece from @oren_cass dismantling the sterile utopianism & destructive externalities of current ‘conservative’ market fundamentalism, & arguing for a family-friendly, multi-ethnic, working-class conservative revival foreignaffairs.com/articles/unite… (h/t @MrMaitra)
Cass’ piece includes this astonishing quote which makes the religious substrate of market fundamentalism crystal clear. No wonder its acolytes are willing to sacrifice absolutely everything to their god - even the possibility of family life as such

Final point: all these abominations have their root in growthism. The fightback against liberal fundamentalism can do an end-run round the Great Reset elite left by (correctly) claiming as a conservative cause the case for post-growth steady-state economies
