Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the questions that divide conservatives today and reveals the variety of answers put forward by classical conservatives, libertarians, and neoconservatives. The contributors?drawn from varied professional backgrounds?each bring a distinctive voice to bear, reinforcing the book's basic notion that conservatism in America represents a family of opinions and ideas rather than a rigid doctrine or set creed.
