Inhaltsangabe
From the New York Times bestselling author of Democracy Awakening, the paradoxical evolution of the Republican Party―founded to give the poor equal opportunity, but too often aligned with the country's elites.
"The most comprehensive account of the GOP and its competing impulses.” ―Los Angeles Times
When Abraham Lincoln helped create the Republican Party on the eve of the Civil War, his goal was to promote economic opportunity for all Americans, not just the slaveholding Southern planters who steered national politics. Yet, despite the egalitarian dream at the heart of its founding, the Republican Party quickly became mired in a fundamental identity crisis. Would it be the party of democratic ideals? Or would it be the party of moneyed interests?
In the century and a half since, Republicans have vacillated between these two poles, with dire economic, political, and moral repercussions for the entire nation. In To Make Men Free, celebrated historian Heather Cox Richardson traces the shifting ideology of the Grand Old Party from the antebellum era to the Great Recession, revealing the insidious cycle of boom and bust that has characterized the Party since its inception.
With each passing decade, with each missed opportunity and political misstep, the schism within the Republican Party has grown wider, pulling the GOP ever further from its founding principles.
Expansive and authoritative, To Make Men Free is a sweeping history of the Party that was once America's greatest political hope―and, time and time again, has proved its greatest disappointment.

While in office, progressive Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower revived Lincoln's vision of economic freedom and expanded the government, attacking the concentration of wealth and nurturing upward mobility. But they and others like them have been continually thwarted by powerful business interests in the Party. Their opponents appealed to Americans' latent racism and xenophobia to regain political power, linking taxation and regulation to redistribution and socialism. The results of the Party's wholesale embrace of big business are all too familiar: financial collapses like the Panic of 1893, the Great Depression in 1929, and the Great Recession in 2008.

hardcover. No Jacket. New York. 2014. Basic Books. Reprinted Hardcover Edition. Tear Mark on Back Boards, Otherwise Good. No Dustjacket. Remainder Mark on Bottom Edge. 9780465024315. 393 pages. hardcover. keywords: History America Republican Party Politics. DESCRIPTION - When Abraham Lincoln helped create the Republican Party on the eve of the Civil War, his goal was to promote economic opportunity for all Americans, not just the slaveholding Southern planters who steered national politics. Yet while visionary Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower shared Lincolns egalitarian dream, their attempts to use government to guard against the concentration of wealth have repeatedly been undone by the countrys moneyed interests and members of their own party. Ronald Reagans embrace of big business - and the ensuing financial crisis - is the latest example of this calamitous cycle, but it is by no means the first. In To Make Men Free, celebrated historian Heather Cox Richardson traces the shifting ideology of the Grand Old Party from the antebellum era to the Great Recession, showing how Republicans ideological vacillations have had terrible repercussions for minorities, the middle class, and America at large. Expansive and authoritative, To Make Men Free explains how a relatively young party became Americas greatest political hope - and, time and time again, its greatest disappointment. inventory #45082 Tear Mark on Back Boards, Otherwise Good.
