{"product_id":"the-conservative-movement","title":"The Conservative Movement","description":"At the beginning of the 90s, conservative commentators have increasingly focused on the growing fragmentation of the American political \u0026amp; intellectual Right. From the early postwar years, when a small band of intellectual dissidents emerged in response to the Soviet threat, to the 80s \u0026amp; the Reagan years, when the coalition of journalists, politicians \u0026amp; lobbyists known as the New Right reached its height of influence, the conservative movement has always been a complex, shifting set of ideologies \u0026amp; factions. In this revised, updated study, Paul Gottfried provides an insiders look at the factions \u0026amp; controversies, the personalities \u0026amp; ideologies, the rival journals \u0026amp; institutes. He argues that the scope of this war on the Right has been misrepresented by journalists, whove been sympathetic to the moderates \u0026amp; have consistently downplayed the strength \u0026amp; intelligence of the paleoconservatives. A striking feature of the book is a detailed, wellinformed exposition of conservative foundations \u0026amp; think tanksrevealing who funds whom \u0026amp; who controls whominformation that has never before appeared in print. Gottfried discusses the implications of the 92 electoral campaign for the future of the Right: from paleocon Pat Buchanans controversial bid for the Republican nomination to the migration of several leading neocons over to Bill Clintons camp. Certain to spark both attention \u0026amp; controversy, this book is required reading for anyone who wants to understand a complex conservative landscape \u0026amp; its prospects.","brand":"Brand: Twayne Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paul Gottfried \/ hardcover","offer_id":47838093934837,"sku":"SONG0805797238","price":47.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/81jPg7ZH6kL.jpg?v=1773726692","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/the-conservative-movement","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
