The battle is on between the forces of social democracy and Americaβs great tradition of free enterpriseβand the stakes couldnβt be higher
America faces a new culture war. It is not a war about guns, abortions, or gaysβrather it is a war against the creeping changes to our entrepreneurial culture, the true bedrock of who we are as a people. The new culture war is a battle between free enterprise and social democracy.
Many Americans have forgotten the evils of socialism and the predations of the American Great Societyβs welfare state programs. But, as American Enterprise Instituteβs president Arthur C. Brooks reveals in The Battle, the forces for social democracy have returned with a vengeance, expanding the power of the state to a breathtaking degree.
The Battle offers a plan of action for the defense of free enterprise; it is at once a call to arms and a crucial redefinition of the political and moral gulf that divides Right and Left in America today. The battle is on, and nothing less than the soul of America is at stake.
