The American Right After Reagan

Edward Ashbee, John Dumbrell, Alex Waddan

Research output: Book/ReportBookResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This timely and significant book provides a comprehensive overview of right-wing ideology and policy-making in the years since Ronald Reagan left office. The authors assess the ways in which the Reagan legacy, rather than the empirical realities of his tenure, has impacted economic, social and cultural policy formation and conservative efforts at reshaping the United States. Against this background, they provide an explanation for why the Republican party turned towards Donald Trump.
