Resumen del Editor

This program is read by the author.

The definitive firsthand account of the movement that permanently broke the American political consensus.

What do internet trolls, economic populists, white nationalists, techno-anarchists, and Alex Jones have in common? Nothing, except for an unremitting hatred of evangelical progressivism and the so-called “Cathedral” from whence it pours forth.

Contrary to the dissembling explanations from the corporate press, this movement did not emerge overnight - nor are its varied subgroups in any sense interchangeable with one another. As united by their opposition as they are divided by their goals, the members of the New Right are willfully suspicious of those in the mainstream who would seek to tell their story. Fortunately, author Michael Malice was there from the very inception, and in The New Right recounts their tale from the beginning.

Malice provides an authoritative and unbiased portrait of the New Right as a movement of ideas - ideas that he traces to surprisingly diverse ideological roots. From the heterodox right wing of the 1940s to the Buchanan/Rothbard alliance of 1992 and all the way through to what he witnessed personally in Charlottesville, The New Right is a thorough firsthand accounting of the concepts, characters and chronology of this widely misunderstood sociopolitical phenomenon.

Today’s fringe is tomorrow’s orthodoxy. As entertaining as it is informative, The New Right is required listening for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more about the past, present and future of our divided political culture.

Great political analysis

I bought the physical copy of this book, then when it was released I immediately bought the audiobook version and I'm glad I did. Hearing Michael Malice, and all of the characters he does impressions of, is a great experience that I rarely hear in audiobooks.

The content is great too. The book does a great job of not focusing too much on any one person or idea, yet at the same time is able to bring all of these ideas and people together in a coherent way. I also appreciate the optimism expressed in the last chapter of the book - too many political books these days end with some dreary, pessimistic view of the future, this is not one of those books.

Overall, a great book I can't help but recommend to anyone, regardless of where they stand on the political spectrum.

I loved this book!

I would recommend this to everyone I know.
The only thing I dislike is that some words were censored, because I think the book should be read as the author wrote it.

Listened to it nearly straight through, loved it

I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable and in lightning. I can't wait till your next.

Malice of Thought

He fails to deliver the final sentence properly for the final sentence of the book. it sounds like someone showed up so he rushed it. bummer. lose a star.

This is a book of surpassing value

It’s skillful evenhandedness, given the radical background and assumptions of the author, is almost bizarre. A remarkable accomplishment. I’ve been studying the New Right in a relatively concentrated way for years and there were new insights and gap-filling information on every page (or heard something new every few minutes).

A Voice of Insight

Michael Malice does an exceptional job looking into the most misunderstood margin of American society. He opened the door into a world where the Culture War's ostensible "losers" have regrouped and launched its own brand of counterattack. I enjoyed hearing him speak back my own words in his analysis of what's happening on both the "evangelical" Left and the Alt-Right, as well as his frank insights into American history and how our culture is viewed as being "under siege".
There are so many good books that explain the problems in our political system, from rampant corruption to political fecklessness and endless rigging of outcomes. This one illustrates quite well the side of the battle line that's oft condemned without any real explanation as though the condemnation alone were enough to explain it.

The next question to answer is what happens when a large enough number of people revoke their consent from the US Government.

perfect

This a wonderful guide into the new right and our political culture. Needs more Malice.
