Additional information
by Oren Cass (Author), American Compass (Author)
For the fifth anniversary of American Compass, the conservative think tank hailed by the Wall Street Journal as "the forefront of rethinking traditional conservative economic ideas," comes a collection of its best, most influential writing.
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.Author Biography
