LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com. "This collection
of essays and articles provides a small sampling of Flynn's work,
as well as a look at some of the great themes that animated the Old
Right. The articles and essays in this volume were chosen to
highlight Flynn's advocacy of limitations on the intrusive,
interventionist state, and the disastrous consequences of allowing
those limitations to relax. Many of his warnings revolve around the
dangers of economic planning and political manipulation of the
market, debt financing of government spending, militarism, and war.
Flynn regarded each of these evils as interrelated. In his view,
interventionism on the domestic front leads inexorably to
intervention in foreign affairs. Thus, Flynn regarded U.S.
intervention in World War II as the inevitable consequence of
Roosevelt's New Deal policies. In many ways, Flynn was the first to
outline the true nature of the twentieth-century welfare-warfare
state. "This is troubling stuff for a generation of conservatives
raised on the military Keynesianism known as Reaganism. But the
Cold War is over, and the conservatism of the welfare-warfare state
has little to offer to a new era. The wisdom of an older generation
beckons. If we have the good sense to pay heed to the lessons
offered by Flynn and his Old Right cohorts, we may summon the
courage and moral authority to harness the Leviathan let loose by
the Roosevelt revolution. We can then bequeath the next generation
a nation dedicated to the forgotten principles of peace and
freedom."
