Conscience of a Conservative reignited the American conservative
movement and made Barry Goldwater a political star. It influenced
countless conservatives in the United States, helping to lay the
foundation for the Reagan Revolution in 1980. It covers topics such
as 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 American, clearly defining Goldwater's
uncompromising political views. Goldwater held freedom as the
highest value in American society: freedom from law, freedom from
government, freedom from anybody else's vision but your own. Much
more than a political tract or soulless campaign book of the sort
generated by every modern presidential campaign, Goldwater's book
continues to be read today because it lays out an intriguing
political philosophy. Goldwater's conservatism is not isolationism,
nor is it a cold-blooded commitment to the 'haves' as against the
'have-nots.' It is the creed of a fighter who has both a warm heart
and a clear mind. Even today, there is more harsh fact and hard
sense in this slight book than will emerge from all of the chatter
of a normal session of Congress. One of a handful of truly
authentic conservatives, Goldwater was said to speak with "the
clarity of courage and the courage of clarity."
