Emerging accounts of the Tea Party movement, in line with prevailing structural theories of conservative movements, tend to understand the movement as a defense of privileged positions in social hierarchies. From this perspective, the ideological and moral concerns expressed by conservatives themselves are often reduced to rhetorical cover for underlying structural interests. Drawing on recent developments in the revived sociology of morality, I challenge this reductive position by taking seriously the role of moral sensibilities in motivating and guiding the activism of participants in the Tea Party. To understand the role of morality in the movement, I interviewed approximately 70 grassroots Tea Partiers, professional conservative activists, politicians and candidates for office, and residents of a small municipality where the Tea Party has had a strong influence in local government. I also carried out participant observation at scores of rallies, seminars, conferences, and meetings of grassroots groups in Wisconsin, as well as Washington, D.C., and a few states between these two locations. In addition, I analyzed data from public opinion polls conducted since the emergence of the Tea Party to gain insight into the social characteristics of Tea Party supporters. Based on my analysis, I argue that the Tea Party movement is importantly motivated and shaped by a particular vision of the good society, which I suggest is deeply influenced by the philosophical tradition of republicanism, a tradition emphasizing the corruptibility of human nature, the importance of virtue to the survival of free society, and the corrupting influence of power. While elements of other ideologies influence the movement, republicanism provides a relatively coherent basis for Tea Partiers' opposition to progressivism as well as for their efforts to purify the Republican Party. While I draw attention to the central role of shared sensibilities in guiding the movement, I also argue that the Tea Party is too complex to be reduced to a single explanatory factor, whether it be the pursuit of their notion of the good society or the desire to preserve privileged social positions. In this way, this dissertation contributes to a more nuanced theoretical understanding of conservative movements.

I hope you like this book, for it was written on your behalf, and to encourage you, and others around the world, to think-up ways to improve these ideas, and/or to think-up better ideas. We need all the good ideas we can get, to bring peace and prosperity to every American, and to each of our neighbors here and throughout the world. You be the judge - - It could, possibly, be the most important book written in the twenty first century. We can have a true "Democracy," where our votes not only count, but actually determine the policies and laws under which we wish to be governed. When the changes suggested in Chapters 1, 2, 5, 6, 17, 18 and 19 are implemented, we will have: "TAKEN OUR COUNTRY BACK."

A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation's economic inequalities One of the country's leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society--economic, cultural, and political--and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. Although many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and the federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.

Desmond Meade was chosen as a MacArthur Fellow in 2021 The inspiring and eye-opening true story of one man’s undying belief in the power of a fully enfranchised nation. “You may think the right to vote is a small matter, and if you do, I would bet you have never had it taken away from you.” Thus begins the story of Desmond Meade and his inspiring journey to restore voting rights to roughly 1.4 million returning citizens in Florida—resulting in a stunning victory in 2018 that enfranchised the most people at once in any single initiative since women’s suffrage. Let My People Vote is the deeply moving, personal story of Meade’s life, his political activism, and the movement he spearheaded to restore voting rights to returning citizens who had served their terms. Meade survived a tough childhood only to find himself with a felony conviction. Finding the strength to pull his life together, he graduated summa cum laude from college, graduated from law school, and married. But because of his conviction, he was not even allowed to sit for the bar exam in Florida. And when his wife ran for state office, he was filled with pride—but not permitted to vote for her. Meade takes us on a journey from his time in homeless shelters, to the exhilarating, joyful night in November of 2018, when Amendment 4 passed with 65 percent of the vote. Meade’s story, and his commitment to a fully enfranchised nation, will prove to readers that one person really can make a difference.

It is the very stuff of legend. A man from the very bottom of the American caste emerges, seemingly out of nowhere, captures the nations imagination and improbably -- within four odd years, defies gravity and rises to the dizzying height of the American presidency thereby becoming the first non-white in history elected to lead an overwhelmingly white nation. A Cinderella like fairy tale? No. Thats the story of President Barack Obama. Seismic and epic, it is a biblical tale of the trials, travails, tribulations and dazzling triumphs of the rejected stone that became cornerstone of Moses as pharaoh. Reviled and vilified like his legendary idol, Abraham Lincoln, whose election sparked the American civil war, Obamas election likewise triggered a cold uncivil civil war. That notwithstanding, his achievements are impressive even historic. Regarded as a Gettysburg-like pivotal moment in American history, Obamas metaphorical conquest of the American presidency is a monumental achievement, a crossing of the Rubicon and a historic 1066-type turning point matched in its sheer historic weight and majesty only by the achievements of Washington and Lincoln. It reboots American democracy and heralds a new Yes We can! era of American and world history with new and expansive possibilities already evident in the unusual and iconoclastic demographic profiles of many of his wannabe successors. It gives credence to the creed All men are created equal and confers legitimacy on American democracy. It redounds to the credit of the nation, and burnishes her image as the pacesetter in the quest for interracial harmony. Citing these and Obamas many other achievements such as saving a moribund economy and reforming healthcare, the author predicts that Obama will be revered as one of Americas greatest presidents.

An essential guide to the intractable public debates about the virtues and vices of economic globalization, cutting through the complexity to reveal the fault lines that divide us and the points of agreement that might bring us together. Globalization has lifted millions out of poverty. Globalization is a weapon the rich use to exploit the poor. Globalization builds bridges across national boundaries. Globalization fuels the populism and great-power competition that is tearing the world apart. When it comes to the politics of free trade and open borders, the camps are dug in, producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims, unlikely alliances, and unexpected foes. But what exactly are we fighting about? And how might we approach these issues more productively? Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp cut through the confusion with an indispensable survey of the interests, logics, and ideologies driving these intractable debates, which lie at the heart of so much political dispute and decision making. The authors expertly guide us through six competing narratives about the virtues and vices of globalization: the old establishment view that globalization benefits everyone (win-win), the pessimistic belief that it threatens us all with pandemics and climate change (lose-lose), along with various rival accounts that focus on specific winners and losers, from China to AmericaÕs rust belt. Instead of picking sides, Six Faces of Globalization gives all these positions their due, showing how each deploys sophisticated arguments and compelling evidence. Both globalizationÕs boosters and detractors will come away with their eyes opened. By isolating the fundamental value conflictsÑgrowth versus sustainability, efficiency versus social stabilityÑdriving disagreement and show where rival narratives converge, Roberts and Lamp provide a holistic framework for understanding current debates. In doing so, they showcase a more integrative way of thinking about complex problems.
