Revolt from the Heartland: The Struggle for an Authentic Conservatism by Joseph

Description: Revolt from the Heartland by Joseph A. Scotchie The dominant forces of American conservatism remain wedded, at all costs, to the Republican Party, but another movement, one with its roots in the pre-World War II era, has stepped forth to fill an intellectual vacuum on the right FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description While the dominant forces of American conservatism remain wedded, at all costs, to the Republican Party, another movement, one with its roots in the pre-World War II era, has stepped forth to fill an intellectual vacuum on the right. The Old Right first rose in opposition to the New Deal, fighting both statism at home and the emergence of an American empire abroad. More recently this movement, sometimes known as paleconservatism has provided the ideological backbone of modern populism and the opposition globalization with decisive effects on presidential politics. In Revolt From the Heartland, Joseph Scotchie provides an intellectual history of the Old Right, treating its main figures and defining its conflict with the traditional left-right mainstream.

Why, if a member has some success, as when Pat Buchanan won in New Hampshire in 1996, do the rest attack him until they have assured his defeat?

Quirk, Professor of Law, University of South Carolina -As an immigrant, I have always regarded the American conserative movement as the flower of democracy, the real reason for the Free Worlds victory in the Cold War.
