Summary

When it was first published, The Conscience of a Conservative reignited the American conservative movement and made Barry Goldwater a political star. It influenced countless conservatives in the United States and helped to lay the foundation for the Reagan Revolution in 1980. Just as vital today as it was then, this book addresses many topics that could be torn from today's headlines. Goldwater discusses education, labor unions and policies, civil rights, agricultural policy and farm subsidies, social welfare programs, and income taxation. This significant book lays out the conservative position both politically and economically that would come to dominate the Conservative Movement in America.

Critic reviews

"For a man who proudly described himself as 'simple,' Barry Goldwater remains a historical puzzle." (Angus Burgin, The New York Sun)

Profile Image for James Nicholson

whoa... there is something wrong with this author

The opening is that the solution of all generations and eras is to regress to aggressive individualism? Despite the fact that this has never been the case in all of human history.

But that's okay! Don't worry about the flaws, because God. Apparently this is what "the people want".

This book was authored by a delusional crackpot that offers no evidence to back his claims of how things were or that problems are solved by regression and religious repression. Totally bizarre...
