The New Conservatives

Restoring America's Commitment to Family, Community, and Industry

By: Oren Cass Founder American Compass(Edited by)

Narrated by: Tom Parks

American Compass is the nerve center of the New American Right, the strategists and policy experts charting a new course for the Republican Party through the economic issues shaping today's political landscape—trade and immigration, technology and finance, industrial policy, education, welfare, labor, family, and more. The New Conservatives is the organization's urtext, a collection of its most influential writing on what has gone wrong in America and the role for government in ensuring that markets serve workers and the nation—not the other way around. These are the ideas that have made the organization at once "a slaughterhouse for Republican sacred cows" (The Economist) and the party's "center of gravity" (David Brooks, PBS News Hour).

With essays and manifestos by American Compass founder Oren Cass, New America cofounder Michael Lind, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former US trade representative Robert Lighthizer, National Affairs founding editor Yuval Levin, American Affairs founding editor Julius Krein, and former American Conservative senior editor Helen Andrews, among others, The New Conservatives revitalizes the American conservative tradition, breaking from the GOP's free-market fundamentalism to promote the productive markets, supportive communities, and responsive politics that are the foundations of the nation's liberty and prosperity.

Good Ideas - Disjointed Writing

Enjoyed many parts of the book, but the writing was all over the place. Sometimes great ideas were lost in the disjointed writing.

I probably should have read a book summary ahead of time, just so I could follow where the author was going.
