Product Description
The dominant forces of American conservatism remain wedded, at all costs, to the Republican Party, but another movement, one with its roots in the pre-World War II era, has stepped forth to fill an intellectual vacuum on the right. This Old Right first rose in opposition to the New Deal, fighting both statism at home and the emergence of an American empire abroad. More recently this movement, sometimes called paleoconservatism, has provided the ideological backbone of modern populism and the opposition to globalization, with decisive effects on presidential politics. In Revolt from the Heartland, now in paperback, Joseph Scotchie provides an intellectual history of the Old Right, treating its main figures and defining its conflict with the traditional left-right political mainstream.

Understanding True "Authentic" American Conservatism November 15, 2002
Eric Martin (Bethesda,, Maryland United States)
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
Joseph Scotchie has written an eloquent first-rate book that
very succinctly covers America's approximately 225 years of Conservative Political Thought. The author makes very clear how and why, over time, that tradition has strayed from its true roots and what implications that has for the future political establishment. All the major figures of American Conservatism throughout the nation's history are examined and how each has influenced the conservative tradition in different ways. I highly recommend this book. It makes it all very clear.
