Just finished reading, "Invisble Hands: The Making of the Conservative Movement From FDR to Reagan." [View All]

[Ardent15]

By Kim Phillips-Fein.

Fascinating read. One thing that really struck me was how the business conservatives who have funded the conservative movement are still stuck in the 1920s; they have an idealistic view of how capitalism and authority and morality work. The New Deal, the Fair Deal, the Great Society, and any type of government regulation is simply evil to them. They have been brainwashed by their own propaganda (and have brainwashed others) into this social authoritarian/economic libertarian view of the world.
