Rossinow links current trends in economic inequality to the policies and social developments of the Reagan era. He reckons with the racial politics of Reaganism...

No wonder, then, that Americans--and the politicians who represent them--are overwhelmingly nostalgic for a better time. The Left looks back to the middle of the twentieth century, when unions were strong, large public programs promised to solve pressing social problems, and the movements for...

Americans are increasingly concerned about the disintegration of our nation and are unable to explain how and why we got here, and where we are going. In The Engineered Downfall of America, author Michael Cordner explains:

How the liberal Left has come to dominate American politics and society.
How the Cold War - which never really ended - continues to undermine our country.
How the slumbering church has contributed to the degradation.
The effects of rejecting God and our Christian heritage.
The bottom-line reason why America is in its present condition.

NOW IN PAPERBACK An "arresting" (In These Times) new history of modern American conservatism, uncovering its roots in the turbulent agricultural fields of Depression-era California

In a reassessment of modern conservatism, noted historian Kathryn...

When it was published in hardcover, Brown Is the New White helped spark a national discussion of race and electoral politics, and the often-misdirected spending priorities of the Democratic Party. This "slim yet jam-packed call to action" (Booklist) contained a "detailed, data-driven illustration of the rapidly increasing number of racial minorities in America" (NBC News) and their significance in shaping our political future.

Completely revised and updated to address the aftermath of the 2016 election, this new edition of Brown Is the New White...

In political speech, Thomas Jefferson is the eternal flame. No other member of the founding generation has served the agendas of both Left and Right with greater vigor. When Franklin Roosevelt dedicated the iconic Jefferson Memorial on the founder's two hundredth birthday, in 1943, he declared the triumph of liberal humanism. Harry Truman claimed Jefferson as his favorite president, too. And yet Ronald Reagan was as great a Jefferson admirer as any Democrat. He had a go-to file of Jefferson's sayings and enshrined him as a small-government conservative.

So, who owns Jefferson--the...

Most histories of modern American politics tell a similar story: that the Sunbelt, with its business friendly environment, right-to-work laws, and fierce spirit of frontier individualism, provided the seedbed for popular conservatism. Stacie Taranto challenges this narrative by positioning New York State as a central battleground. In 1970, under the governorship of Republican Nelson Rockefeller, New York became one of the first states to legalize abortion. By 1980, however, conservative, antifeminist Republicans with broad suburban appeal--symbolized by figures such as Ronald Reagan--had...

This book examines the links between major contemporary public sector reforms and neoliberal thinking. The key contribution is to enhance our understanding of contemporary neoliberalism as it plays out in public administration and to provide a critical analysis of generally overlooked aspects of administrative power. It examines the quest for accountability, credibility and evidence in the public sector and asks whether this quest may be understood in terms of neoliberal thinking and, if so, how?

Triantafillou argues that while current administrative reforms are informed by...

When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, it was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a -fringe- campaign, something not to be taken seriously. After all, he was just an Independent senator from a small state with little name recognition. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment.

By the time Sanders's campaign came to a close, however, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong. Bernie had run one of the most...
