The reactionary mind

by Corey Robin

In this book, political scientist Corey Robin makes a strikingly bold claim about the right's political and intellectual foundations. He contends that from the 18th century through today, the right has been united by a defense of inequality and privilege and by a deep hostility to all forms of progressive politics.
