Review:
Under its magisterial title, the British journalist Godfrey Hodgson's study asks a simple question: how did so many conflicting ideologies unite under the banner of conservatism to completely alter the face of American politics? The conservative nostalgia for bygone morals and stricter social controls, Hodgson points out, is an uneasy bedfellow with the imperatives of free-market capitalism. While that conflict was muted or inaudible in the high-riding Reagan era, in the 1990s it has come to the fore, to the consternation of Newt Gingrich and his congressional allies. The conservative revolution has been derailed, at least temporarily, and this thorough and provocative book shows why.
About the Author:
Godfrey Hodgson has written several books on American politics and history, including AMERICA IN OUR TIME and, most recently, THE WORLD TURNED RIGHT SIDE UP: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM. He is currently the director of the Reuters Foundation Programme at Oxford University. The author resides in England.
