"The solution for the modern GOP . . . Intellectual ammunition for the modern conservative movement." -SENATOR RAND PAUL
How can America recover from economic stagnation, moral exhaustion, and looming bankruptcy? Donald J. Devine shows the way.
Devine, a longtime adviser to Ronald Reagan, lays out a powerful case for the philosophical synthesis of freedom and tradition that Reagan said was the essence of modern conservatism. The secret of America's success, he shows, has been the Constitution's capacity to harmonize the twin ideals of freedom and tradition. But today, progressivism has so corrupted modern political thinking-in bothparties-that leaders keep calling for the same failed tactics: more money poured into more big-government programs.
In America's Way Back , Devine not only reveals where things went wrong, and why, but also points the way to reclaiming America's freedom, prosperity, and creativity. The solution lies in a new "fusion" of traditional and libertarian thought.

Donald J. Devine is senior scholar at the Fund for American Studies and the author of seven other books. A longtime adviser to Ronald Reagan, he served as head of the federal civil service during Reagan's first term, saving $6 billion in taxpayer money and reducing more than 100,000 nondefense bureaucratic slots.
