First published in 1987. Towards the end of the twentieth century
there was a resurgence of thinking about politics, economics and
society referred to variously as the 'New Right', the radical
right, neo-conservatism, economic liberalism or libertarianism.
Although the New Right is not a single coherent movement it
represented a clear alternative to the prevailing social-democratic
consensus and had had considerable influence on government policy
in both America and Britain. This book presents an introductory
survey of the New Right worldwide. It examines the varieties of
free-market and 'monetarist' economic thought and introduces the
reader to the public-choice critique of public policy. In political
philosophy the book analyses American and British conservative
thought and compares conservatism with neo-liberalism. The author
pays particular attention to the New Right's analysis of
constitutionalism and its critique of the dominance of 'politics'
over 'economics' during the high-point of the consensus period. The
author assesses the success which the different schools of the New
Right have had in influencing public opinion and in the formation
of government policy. He does not argue for or against the New
Right but presents a dispassionate survey from which the reader can
draw his or her own conclusions.
