For nearly a decade, Michael Lind worked closely as a writer and editor with the intellectual leaders of American conservatism. Slowly, he came to believe that the many prominent intellectuals he worked with were not the leaders of the conservative movement but the followers and apologists for an increasingly divisive and reactionary political strategy orchestrated by the Republican party. Lind's disillusionment led to a very public break with his former colleagues on the right, as he attacked the Reverend Pat Robertson for using anti-Semitic sources in his writings.

In "Up From Conservatism," this former rising star of the right reveals what he believes to be the disturbing truth about the hidden economic agenda of the conservative elite. The Republican capture of the U.S. Congress in 1994 did not represent the conversion of the American public to conservative ideology. Rather, it marked the success of the thirty-year-old "southern strategy" begun by Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. From the Civil War to the civil rights revolution, the southern elite combined a low-wage, low-tax strategy for economic development with a politics of demagogy based on race-baiting and Bible-thumping. Now, Lind maintains, the economic elite that controls the Republican party is following a similar strategy on a national scale, using their power to shift the tax burden from the rich to the middle class while redistributing wealth upward.

To divert attention from their favoritism toward the rich, conservatives play up the "culture war," channeling popular anger about falling real wages and living standards away from Wall Street and focusing it instead on the black poor and nonwhite immigrants.

The United States, Lind concludes, could use a genuine "one-nation" conservatism that seeks to promote the interests of the middle class and the poor as well as the rich. But today's elitist conservatism poses a clear and present danger to the American middle class and the American republic.

Great set for the price!
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
Really nice shelf set for the price. The shelves look great, were easy to install, and are sturdy. I love the flexibility you have in setting the height of each shelf and the distance from one shelf to another if placing them together on a wall. You can arrange them how you'd like - straight under one another, staggered, on a diagonal. And the fact that you can place them on multiple walls is a great feature as well. Really happy with this purchase.

Very nice hidden bracket shelves
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown, Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
Nice shelves and easy to install. Simply put the first shelf bracket where you want, throw the provided level on it and Mark the holes. I had to use the drywall anchors since I didn’t have studs behind the desired location but you might luck out and catch one on your location. The shelves are really nice looking, light weight and should be a good fit just about anywhere.

Looks great and solves space issues
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
This is great for a small bathroom. It frees up your counter space and at the same time looks good. You can put your essentials like q tips, cotton balls, etc in decorative containers and add a small plant or sign and you have made your cluttered bathroom look awesome.

Great privacy screen
Size: 6 Panel-119"W, Color: Beige
I have a studio apartment and the bathroom is in my bedroom. I bought this to section the area off so guests can use my bathroom without seeing my entire bedroom. This is perfect for that! It looks very nice and offers alot of privacy. The screen is fabric and good quality! I’m a middle aged woman and put it together myself in about 2 hours. Love this!!!
