John R. Price, former Special Assistant for Urban Affairs to President Nixon Chair: Mitch Robertson, Associate Lecturer in US History, UCL; Fellow of the RAI
Was Richard Nixon responsible for the rightward turn of the Republican Party, or was he in fact the "the last liberal Republican"? John R. Price, who worked on social policy in Nixon's White House, has written a book making the case that Nixon has been misunderstood, pointing to plans to reform welfare to introduce something like a universal basic income and expand health insurance. John is in conversation with RAI Fellow Mitch Robertson about Nixon’s complex legacy.
