In this book, millennial journalist Helen Andrews calls the Boomers to account. With wit and conviction, she presents profiles of luminaries who promised much but failed to deliver.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739167334673,"sku":"NGR9780593086759","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49868769427729,"sku":"GOR011413610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50113885929745,"sku":"CIN0593086759G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50354069012753,"sku":"CIN0593086759A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52104561328401,"sku":"CIN0593086759VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0593086759.jpg?v=1751421974"},{"product_id":"main-street-conservatism-book-helen-andrews-9781645720683","title":"Main Street Conservatism","description":"The political right is at an inflection point. The policies that have guided the conservative movement for decades are no longer relevant to the problems we face. Donald Trump’s election exposed the vast chasm between the priorities of the conservative professional class, and those of the voters it purportedly serves. But this chasm existed long before it was exposed in 2016, and as we move further into the post-Trump era, these issues aren’t going away. The right must contend with the forces that drove Trump to power. Main Street Conservatism: The Future of the Right takes seminal essays from The American Conservative’s robust back catalog and presents them in four broad topic areas that are driving our ongoing political realignment: foreign policy, political economy, American culture, and faith \u0026amp; family. With essays from leading conservatives like Patrick J. Buchanan, Sir Roger Scruton, Walter McDougall, Robert W. Merry, Rod Dreher, and many more, Main Street Conservatism: The Future of the Right is far more than a disjointed anthology. The book, like the magazine from which it is taken, is indispensable for understanding American conservatism in our current moment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50215989510417,"sku":"CIN1645720683VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1645720683.jpg?v=1750896417"},{"product_id":"boomers-book-helen-andrews-9798217184231","title":"Boomers","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eBaby Boomers (and I confess I am one): prepare to squirm and shake your increasingly arthritic little fists.

Following the model of Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians, she profiles six of the Boomers' brightest and best. She shows how Steve Jobs tried to liberate everyone's inner rebel but unleashed our stultifying digital world of social media and the gig economy. How Aaron Sorkin played pied piper to a generation of idealistic wonks. How Camille Paglia corrupted academia while trying to save it. How Jeffrey Sachs, Al Sharpton, and Sonya Sotomayor wanted to empower the oppressed but ended up empowering new oppressors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRanging far beyond the usual Beatles and Bill Clinton clich s, Andrews shows how these six Boomers' effect on the world has been tragically and often ironically contrary to their intentions. She reveals the essence of Boomerness: they tried to liberate us, and instead of freedom they left behind chaos.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53637340135697,"sku":"NLS9798217184231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53657774489873,"sku":"NIN9798217184231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798217184231.jpg?v=1781004157"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-helen-andrews.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
