In The Right-Wing Idea Factory, Donald F. Kettl charts the rapid development and growing influence of a revolutionary right-wing political movement that has upended traditional free-market conservatism. He examines the movement's ideas, tactics, and strategies for building a political constituency and seizing power, which is creating--as its engineers hoped--a generation (or more) of political rule. An incisive analysis of one of the most disruptive forces in modern American politics, The Right-Wing Idea Factory is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the fundamental transformation of conservatism in the Trump era and beyond.
