DESCRIPTION:Donald Trump is not a big thinker\, but his 2016 presidential v
 ictory presented a grand opportunity for people who are\, and it set off a
  radicalization and reconfiguration of the American conservative intellect
 ual world. In Furious Minds\, Laura Field\, who spent close to a decade in
  conservative academic circles\, chronicles the rise of the New Right—th
 e network of academics\, public intellectuals\, and influencers who provid
 e ideological fuel to Trumpism. This movement includes figures such as Pat
 rick Deneen\, Christopher Rufo\, Peter Thiel\, and JD Vance. Their agenda 
 is built to last\, and it has dire long-term implications for liberal demo
 cracy.\n\n \n\nThe New Right has precedents in American history\, but it i
 s distinct for its youthfulness\, misogyny\, and extraordinary successes
 —most notably the elevation of Vance to the vice presidency. The movemen
 t—which draws together associates of the right-wing Claremont Institute\
 , National Conservatives\, Postliberals\, and the Hard Right—advocates n
 ationalist economics\, tight borders\, isolationism\, and reactionary soci
 al values. It helped to strategize January 6th and created Project 2025. B
 ut above all\, the New Right is engaged in a vast culture war against mode
 rn liberal pluralism. It is determined to harness state power and use it i
 n new\, illiberal ways\, from college campuses to the international scene
 —all driven by the fantasy of restoring a pure America.\n\n \n\nIncisive
  and urgent\, Furious Minds tells the story of the thinkers of the New Rig
 ht—and their powerful assault on American freedoms\, values\, and ideals
