Konservatisme og højreorienterede demokratiske ideologier

Denne bog er en lynskarp diagnose af vores samtids borgerlige krise og dens rødder helt tilbage til Hartlings, Schlüters og Foghs tid. Men den er også en lettilgængelig indføring i den borgerlige tankegang – som en opmuntrende vitaminpille til alle i Danmark, der føler sig hjemløse i tidens konsensustyranni.Den gode nyhed er, at borgerligheden lever – og er den eneste ideologi, der virker. Velfærdssocialismen, derimod, er skrøbelig, fordi den bygger på et falsk fundament. Tiden er moden til at levere et borgerligt alternativ, der giver ansvaret tilbage til borgerne og deres familier.Martin Ågerup (f. 1966) er medstifter af og adm. direktør for IT-virksomheden Popoulos Analytics. Han var fra 2004 til september 2023 direktør for den borgerlige tænketank CEPOS og har ifølge Berlingske “formet den borgerlige idédebat mere end næsten nogen anden de sidste to årtier”. Han er formand for Instituttet for Fremtidsforskning og medlem af bestyrelsen i Den Berlingske Fond og i Johan Schrøders Fond. Han er Bachelor of Science i økonomi og økonomisk historie fra University of Bristol samt MA i økonomi fra University of Exeter.

Anders Krab-Johansen giver sit bud på, hvordan det borgerlige Danmark igen kan blive et politisk alternativ efter den nedsmeltning, som blå blok har været igennem.Bogens temaer er præsenteret med udgangspunkt i en spiral. Inderst i spiralen placerer Krab-Johansen det enkelte menneske med dets rettigheder og pligter. Dernæst kommer familien og  dannelsen – skolen, kulturen, medier, kirken og de frie institutioner, der udgør sammenhængskraften, men hviler på statstilskud og markedets gunst. Herefter markedet og erhvervslivet, som kæmper for at overleve. Siden følger Danmark, nationen – vores rødder, sprog, immigrationen, hovedstad-provins-debatten og grundloven. Og yderst er verden omkring os – det internationale samarbejde.Bogen er Anders Krab-Johansens personlige bidrag til debatten om, hvad der skal til for, at det borgerlige Danmark kan vende skuden og forandre samfundet i en liberal-konservativ retning.

"Traces the fight to preserve American democracy back to World War II, when a handful of committed public servants and brave private citizens thwarted far-right plotters trying to steer our nation toward an alliance with the Nazis. Inspired by her research for the hit podcast Ultra, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the far-right edge of our politics for the better part of a century"--

PAPE – HELE VEJEN er et portræt af manden, der vendte den årelange konservative nedgang og i dag kan kalde sig Danmarks mest populære partileder. Vi følger Søren Pape Poulsen fra opvæksten i Midtjylland med politisk vækkelse omkring kaffebordet til tiden som borgmester i Viborg og sidenhen konservativ leder, justitsminister – og statsministerkandidat.Vi får også historien om interne fejder i Det Konservative Folkeparti, om politisk magtspil i Viborg såvel som på Christiansborg og om den tumultariske tid op til Papes formandskab for et parti i krise. Samtidig udfoldes sider af Søren Papes personlige liv, ikke mindst hvordan den adopterede landmandssøn fra Vejerslev kom ud af skabet og blev den første officielle homoseksuelle partileder i Danmark. I PAPE – HELE VEJEN får vi for første gang den samlede fortælling om en folkekær partiformand, men også om en politiker, der har grebet magten, når muligheden har budt sig.Bogen er skrevet af journalisterne Mads Brandsen og Johs Lynge og er først og fremmest baseret på en lang række samtaler med Søren Pape samt med hans familie, venner, politiske kolleger og samarbejdspartnere.

This volume, Early English Tracts on Commerce, was edited by John Ramsay McCulloch and originally published in 1856. It contains essays on political economy written by: Thomas Mun, Lewes Roberts, Samuel Fortrey, William Petty, Dudley North, and Henry Martyn.In her entry on McCulloch in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Phyllis Deane wrote: "It is now apparent that for most of the half-centurypreceding his death [in 1864] this hard-working, largely self-educated Scot did more than any other economist of this day to introduce the new science of political economy to an interested public." The three edited McCulloch volumes now reprinted by CL Press show the enduring value of McCulloch's service to those interested in the history of economic thought and the historical arc of liberalism.

After fourteen years of Conservative government, we rightly ask what changed for the better or worse during this prolonged period of power? The country experienced significant challenges including austerity, Brexit and Covid: did they militate against the government's making more lasting impact? Bringing together some of the leading authorities in the field, this book examines the impact of Conservative rule on a wide range of economic, social, foreign and governmental areas. Anthony Seldon, Tom Egerton and their team uncover the ultimate 'Conservative effect' on the United Kingdom. With powerful insights and fresh perspectives, this is an intriguing study for anyone seeking to understand the full scope of the Conservative government's influence on our nation. Drawing the immediate lessons from the last fourteen years will be pivotal if the country is to rejuvenate and flourish in the future.

"Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen's ... narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior"--

"Michael Feola diagnoses the dangers the racist "Great Replacement" narrative poses as it shapes the far-right imagination, expands through civil society, and deforms political culture. Showing how it has motivated a variety of dangerous political projects in pursuit of illiberal, antidemocratic futures, The Rage of Replacement makes clear that replacement theory poses a dire threat to democracy and safety"--

It explores the Church's racist history and outlines a scriptural path toward antiracism. Citizens of Heaven then explains how Christians can become politically active and remain consistent with the teachings of Christ.

One of our most influential political theorists offers a boundary-breaking—and liberating—perspective on the meaning of life in the internet age

A riveting behind-the-scenes account of the new stars of the far right-and how they've partnered with billionaire donors, idealogues, and political insiders to build the most powerful youth movement the American right has ever seen In the wake of the Obama presidency, a group of young charismatic conservatives catapulted onto the American political and cultural scenes, eager to thwart nationwide pushes for greater equity and inclusion. They dreamed of a cultural revolution-online and off-that would offer a forceful alternative to the progressive politics that were dominating American college campuses. In Raising Them Right, a gripping, character-driven read and investigative tour de force, Kyle Spencer chronicles the people and organizations working to lure millions of unsuspecting young American voters into the far-right fold-revealing their highly successful efforts to harness social media in alarming ways and capitalize on the democratization of celebrity culture. These power-hungry new faces may look and sound like antiestablishment renegades, but they are actually part of a tightly organized and heavily funded ultraconservative initiative to transform American youth culture and popularize fringe ideas. There is Charlie Kirk, the swashbuckling Trump insider and founder of the right-wing youth activist group Turning Point USA, who dreams of taking back the country's soul from weak-kneed liberals and becoming a national powerbroker in his own right. There is the acid-tongued Candace Owens, a Black ultraconservative talk-show host and Fox News regular who is seeking to bring Black America to the GOP and her own celebritydom into the national forefront. And then there is the young, rough-and-tumble libertarian Cliff Maloney, who built the Koch-affiliated organization Young Americans for Liberty into a political force to be reckoned with, while solidifying his own power and pull inside conservative circles. Chock-full of original reporting and unprecedented access, Raising Them Right is a striking prism through which to view the extraordinary shifts that have taken place in the American political sphere over the last decade. It establishes Kyle Spencer as the premier authority on a new generation of young conservative communicators who are merging politics and pop culture, social media and social lives, to bring cruel economic philosophies, skeletal government, and dangerous antidemocratic ideals into the mainstream. Theirs is a crusade that is just beginning.

The Tories’ ancient instinct for survival has vanished, along with any concern for the public good, and Bloody Panico is the prevailing mood

The political left has for too long treated human evolutionary theory with suspicion or, more often, open hostility. Yet dismissing Darwinism as a pseudo-scientific prop for racism, sexism, nationalism and other right-wing prejudice is a tragic own goal, leaving an immensely important topic to bigots and nut jobs, while isolating the left from exciting modern developments within this field.A (R)Evolutionary Left challenges this lazy ignorance, ideological blindness and fervent resistance to Darwinian thinking with open and honest discussion of some of the left's most strongly defended taboos-from eugenics to inherited intelligence to likely evolved differences between the sexes and between human "races".Human beings are the product of the long and complex process of biological evolution that has left its mark on our bodies and on our minds. If we dismiss this reality out of hand-as the left is wont to do-we forgo a better understanding of ourselves. We also miss identifying obstacles to achieving the left's cherished goal of a more just and liveable future society.

" With the nation badly divided and the two major parties on a bitter collision course, what can we learn from America's last great president? A lot, says New York Times bestselling author and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie. In What Would Reagan Do?, Christie takes a fresh look at President Ronald Reagan's character-driven political instincts and deeply impactful relationships across party lines--finding plenty of compelling insights for our current national dysfunction."--Publisher marketing.

Contemporary conservatism can easily be seen as a hollowed-out creed. Combining heartless free-market individualism with an unthinking social liberalism - or else simple authoritarian populism - it offers little to those whose sense of meaning is securely rooted in their families, communities and country. In Covenant, Danny Kruger, one of parliament's leading thinkers, argues that we must restore the sources of virtue and belonging that underpin the good life by repairing the covenantal relationships of love and partnership that underpin our families, local communities and ultimately our country. We must, he contends, go beyond a politics based purely on individual autonomy, social atomisation and self-worship. By examining the most fundamental questions of love, sex, life and death, ranging from marriage to assisted dying, Kruger charts a course towards a conservatism that can respond humanely and wisely to the social, environmental and economic crises that face us.This riposte to both liberal orthodoxy and the authoritarian right is unmissable for anyone interested in British politics. It's a key contribution to the debate on how the Conservative Party can respond to its current crisis.
