The Conscience of a Conservative

By: Barry Goldwater

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

When it was first published, The Conscience of a Conservative reignited the American conservative movement and made Barry Goldwater a political star. It influenced countless conservatives in the United States and helped to lay the foundation for the Reagan Revolution in 1980. Just as vital today as it was then, this book addresses many topics that could be torn from today's headlines. Goldwater discusses education, labor unions and policies, civil rights, agricultural policy and farm subsidies, social welfare programs, and income taxation. This significant book lays out the conservative position both politically and economically that would come to dominate the Conservative Movement in America.

Critic reviews

"For a man who proudly described himself as 'simple,' Barry Goldwater remains a historical puzzle." (Angus Burgin, The New York Sun)

Must Read.

This book is as true then as it is now. I encourage everyone to read this.

Valid opinions.

I may not agree with his views but the arguments are valid and logic, even after so many years. Some of them are profetic others could have been.

Should be required reading for GUTLESS Republicans

I am sick of gutless Republican leadership either selling out or just outright cowering rather than standing up for what is right. Senator Goldwater was so much more than any of our current Republican leadership.

.

this book is fundamentals of conservatism I would highly recommend for anybody interested in these values

Quite the interesting read and rare insight.

it was quite curious reading and listening to this particular take on conservativism. this particular book help to touch on many of the current policies that America has strayed so very far away from yet current leaders are trying to re-enact and deeply push for. if you are curious with the Playbook is for current active conservatives you might want to listen to this regardless of your political standing.
