President Donald J. Trump’s second term in office will be the most consequential administration in history because of the people and the policies that are markedly different than his first term. While the Left and their conspirators in the media thought they had vanquished Trump after the 2020 election, the leader of the Make America Great Again movement didn’t disappear as they had hoped. During President Biden’s administration, Trump was assembling the people and building the policies that will forever change the direction of this country.

After two and a half centuries of existence, it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without it. But how did it come into existence?

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has sold over 2.5 million copies and is still required reading in some high school and college classrooms. But its polemic rewriting of American history as a story of oppression is an agenda-driven fairy tale that has no place in academia. In Debunking Howard Zinn, Mary Grabar debunks Howard Zinn’s lies and traces the damage his mega-bestseller has done to American education, culture, and politics.  

In this eye-opening book, Matthew Rose introduces us to one of the most controversial intellectual movements of the 20th century, the "radical right", and discusses its adherents' different attempts to imagine political societies after the death or decline of liberalism. Questioning democracy's most basic norms and practices, these critics rejected ideas about human equality, minority rights, religious toleration, and cultural pluralism not out of implicit biases, but out of explicit principle.

Based on archival research and interviews with leading participants in the movement, Masters of the Universe traces the ascendancy of neoliberalism from the academy of interwar Europe to supremacy under Reagan and Thatcher and in the decades since. Daniel Stedman Jones argues that there was nothing inevitable about the victory of free-market politics.
