| | Class number: | 320.5 | | Abstract: | he Essential Neoconservative Reader captures the drama and historical importance of conservationism's rise from 1965 to the present, by collecting influential essays by its most noted figures - among them Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Nathan Glazer, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Gertrude Himmelfarb, and James Q. Wilson. The word "neoconservative" was first used as a term of derision for disgruntled ex-liberals of the 1960s. Perhaps because of this, there has never been a central credo or organization unifying conservationism as a movement. With this collection, however, conservationism is cast in a new light, portrayed as a comprehensive outlook on economics, politics, society, and culture linked by common principles and a distinctive vision. | | Contents note: | Norman Podhoretz: My Negro problem - and ours; Daniel Patrick Moynihan: The Negro family : the case for national action; Nathan Glazer: The campus crucible : student politics and the university; Midge Decte: A letter to the young (and to their parents) (February 1975); Aaron Wildavsky: Government and the people; Daniel Patrick Moynihan: Speech before the United Nations in response to "Zionism is racism"; Irving Kristol: "Why virtue loses all her loveliness" : some reflections on capitalism and "the free society"; Michael Novak: From The spirit of democratic capitalism; George Gilder: Moral sources of capitalism; Jeane Kirkpatrick: Dictatorships and double standards; Ruth Wisse: The delegitimation of Israel; Irving Kristol: Human nature and social reform; Richard John Neuhaus & Peter Berger: From To empower people : the role of mediating structures in public policy; Thomas Sowell: Affirmative action : a worldwide disaster; Irving Kristol: A conservative welfare state; James Q.
