Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In this sure to be controversial book in the vein of The Forgotten Man, a political analyst argues that conservative icon Ronald Reagan was not an enemy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal, but his true heir and the popular program's ultimate savior. Conventional political wisdom views the two most consequential presidents of the twentieth-century--FDR and Ronald Reagan--as ideological opposites. FDR is hailed as the champion of big-government progressivism manifested in the New Deal. Reagan is seen as the crusader for conservatism dedicated to small government and free markets. But Henry Olsen argues that this assumption is wrong. In The Working Class Republican, Olsen contends that the historical record clearly shows that Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal itself were more conservative than either Democrats or Republicans believe, and that Ronald Reagan was more progressive than most contemporary Republicans understand. Olsen cuts through political mythology to set the record straight, revealing how Reagan--a longtime Democrat until FDR's successors lost his vision in the 1960s--saw himself as FDR's natural heir, carrying forward the basic promises of the New Deal: that every American deserves comfort, dignity, and respect provided they work to the best of their ability. Olsen corrects faulty assumptions driving today's politics. Conservative Republican political victories over the last thirty years have not been a rejection of the New Deal's promises, he demonstrates, but rather a representation of the electorate's desire for their success--which Americans see as fulfilling the vision of the nation's founding. For the good of all citizens and the GOP, he implores Republicans to once again become a party of "FDR Conservatives"--to rediscover and support the basic elements of FDR (and Reagan's) vision. …

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES. Donald Trump's election has led many to wonder if the Republican Party remains the Party of Reagan. In fact, President Trump's election gives Republicans their last, bet hope to re-Reaganize the GOP. Political analyst Henry Olsen reveals that the simplistic anti-government Reagan most Republican politicians invoke is a myth. The real Reagan was a lifelong fan of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and supported the robust safety net FDR's New Deal created and inspired. In The Working Class Republican, Olsen argues that Reagan successfully wooed working-class voters -- the "Reagan Democrats" -- by convincing them that he was preserving, not rejecting, Roosevelt's legacy. As Olsen shows in this provocative work, Reagan developed a unique conservative philosophy that enhances freedom while using government to actively help Americans receive what they deserve, provided they work to the best of their abilities. President Trump's robust defense of American manufacturing and the safety net was closer to Reagan's and FDR's visions than anything Republicans have offered since the Reagan era. It's no wonder, then, that he was the first Republican nominee since Reagan in 1984 to carry all five of the Reagan Democrat-dominated mid-western states -- Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania -- and with them, win the presidency. The story of Reagan's rise and his importance for today's America and Republican party has never seemed as fresh and as relevant as it does in The Working Class Republican.
