A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

12Aug/10Off

Age of Reagan Part Deux

I recently read a fantastic book entitled The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order 1964-1980 by Dr. Steven Hayward of The American Enterprise Institute.   I am very much looking forward to the second half of the story, The Conservative Counter-Revolution 1980-1989, which Hayward released last summer.

Here is a fascinating interview Dr. Hayward gave to National Review's Peter Robinson on his web-cast "Uncommon Knowledge."

History matters.

  1. Thank you RJ for putting this on your site. I enjoyed it very much. I do think Hayward gives lots of unknown insites into the Reagan Presidency and the man.

    I even want to read those books.

What is “Mere Conservatism”?

The basic ideas, ideals, and values that generally define and characterize the central tenets of what today might be termed "modern conservative thought."

We believe that a proper understanding of history, economics, and theology leads to certain conclusions. Many of these are the same conclusions our Founding Fathers arrived at in constructing a "more perfect union."

All ideas and opinions are welcome; not all are correct.
