The overall argument here is that the tendencies and sensibilities we associate with that earlier moment of upheaval decisively shaped intellectual agendas and cultural practices--from the all-volunteer Army to the cartoon politics of Disney movies--in the 1980s and 90s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy this accounting, the so-called Reagan Revolution was not only, or even mainly, a conservative event. By the same accounting, the Left, having seized the commanding heights of higher education, was never in danger of losing the so-called culture wars. At the end of the twentieth century, the argument goes, the United States was much less conservative than it had been in 1975. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book takes supply-side economics and South Park equally seriously. It treats Freddy Krueger, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Ronald Reagan as comparable cultural icons.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Livingston is professor of history at Rutgers University.
