| Abstract | "For more than two hundred years, traditional conservatives, in their quest to shrink government in defense of individual liberty, dominated the American right-wing. Then, in the 2010s-a momentary flash in the long history of ideas-a new idea factory pushed that version of conservatism to the curb. Instead of a small government, it sought a robust government. Instead of the pursuit of individual liberty, it sought to advance particular social values. And instead of the long-term quest for conservative ideals, it sought to conquer the left by using ideas as instruments to gain power. This book is the story of how a right-wing idea factory, focused on the pursuit of political power, suddenly became one of the most powerful political and social forces in America and, in many ways, across the rest of the world"-- Provided by publisher. |
