The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump by Corey Robin

3.0

Lower review since I'm not as tied in to the line of argument or reasoning in this book as I feel would allow me to maximally benefit from it. That's not saying that it would necessarily be better if it were explicated further within though, just that the conceptualization of conservativism is strikingly different from the synthesis I've put together through my reading up to this point. The strongest aspect is the best description I've yet read of how the right uses left jargon (to co-opt not their aims but the sentiment).

Tldr: not as coherent as "Listen, Liberal" by Thomas Frank, though contains a glimmer of an equally cogent historical counternarrative.
