Conscience of a Conservative

''The Conscience of a Conservative'' reignited the American conservative movement and made Barry Goldwater a political star. It influenced countless conservatives in the United States, and helped lay the foundation for the Reagan Revolution in 1980. It covers topics such as education, labor unions and policies, civil rights, agricultural policy and farm subsidies, social welfare programs, and income taxation. This significant book lays out both politically and economically the conservative position that would come to dominate the Conservative Movement in America.
