Early life and education


His father was a successful furrier from Budapest, who had fled Hungary after the July Putsch of 1934. The Jewish family relocated to Bridgeport, Connecticut, soon after his birth. Gottfried attended Yeshiva University in New York as an undergraduate and returned to Connecticut to attend Yale for graduate school.


Career


Gottfried is opposed to nation-building and is an avid critic of American interventionist foreign policy.[3] Gottfried coined terms such as "paleoconservative", which he identifies with and "alternative right", which he rejects.[4]

Gottfried is an associated scholar at the Mises Institute.[5] In 2018, he joined the Institut des sciences sociales, économiques et politiques (Institute of Social, Economic and Political Sciences), founded by Marion Maréchal and Thibaut Monnier, in Lyon, France.[6] Gottfried is the US correspondent of Nouvelle École, a Nouvelle Droite journal founded by GRECE in 1968.[7]


Coining the alt-right


Gottfried wrote in a 2018 article for the National Post, "I do know Richard Spencer and worked with him in 2010 when he edited the Taki's Magazine website. We did develop the term 'Alternative Right' together — it was a headline he put on one of my articles. But my subsequent strategic differences with him are a matter of public record, which should have been noted."[8]


Proximity to the alt-right


In 2018, Robert Fulford for the National Post suggested that Gottfried was the "godfather of the alt-right", suggesting his paleoconservative ideas were the origin of the alt-right "phenomenon".[9] Three weeks later, Gottfried published a response article requesting he not be referred to in that manner.[8]

The question of whether Gottfried is the "godfather or the alt-right" appears to have originated in a 2016 Tablet article titled, "The Alt-Right's Jewish Godfather", in which Gottfried states: "I just do not want to be in the same camp with white nationalists." He added: "As somebody whose family barely escaped from the Nazis in the '30s, I do not want to be associated with people who are pro-Nazi. ... Whenever I look at Richard [Spencer], I see my ideas coming back in a garbled form."[10] Jacob Siegel, author of the Tablet article, describes Gottfried as having "tried to build a postfascist, postconservative politics of the far-right" for the past 20 years.[10]
