The Conservative Mind: A New Model for GovernmentThe Conservative Mind consists of four parts: The Conservative Manifesto; The Conservative Solutions; The Conservative State; and, The Conservative Challenge. The Conservative Manifesto consists of five chapters which serve to connect past conservative philosophies with future conservative aspirations and which compare and contrast the liberal mindset with conservative ideals for government. The largest portion of the book consists of nineteen chapters, in each of which is discussed respective national and international issues. To a lesser degree, state government is discussed in the penultimate chapter. |
