About this ebook

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 reading for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more about the past, present and future of our divided political culture.

    Malice does a great job of going through the history of the first stages of setting up this new right and right to the writing of the book. Murray Rothbard should definitely be checked out by anyone looking into a great political/economic thinker in line with libertarianism/anarchism/revisionism. Malice covers the extremes of both ends of the movement and shows that it's not just Nazis and ethno-state supporters. There is one item which could have been clearer especially for those on the other side of the political spectrum would be to identify what is alt-right and who identifies with it. There are alt-righters he interviews but there are a number that are identified as "not alt-right". Overall, a really good book on the rise of a new political wing coming off the Trump win and a response to the crazy push of the liberal wing. Final Grade - A-
