Produktinformationen zu „America's Right (ePub)“
Conservatism has been the most important political doctrine in the
United States for nearly four decades. It has dominated the
intellectual debate and largely set the policy agenda, even during
years of Democratic electoral control.
But 21st century conservatism has moved far beyond even the Reagan
Revolution of small government, lower taxes and a respect for
tradition. The alliance of libertarians, neoconservatives, and the
Christian right has launched anxious and angry attacks on the
purported homosexual agenda, the "hoax" of climate
change, the rule by experts and elites, and the banishment of
religion from the public realm. In the foreign policy arena it has
tried to remake the world through the cleansing fire of violence.
Contemporary American conservatism practices a politics that is
disciplined, uncompromising, utopian, and enraged, seeking to
"take back our country."
This is "anti-establishment conservatism," whose origin
can be traced back to the right wing that battled both the reigning
post-World War II liberal consensus and the moderate, establishment
Republican Party. This book examines the nature of
anti-establishment conservatism, traces its development from the
1950s to the Tea Party, and explains its political ascendance.
