The Conscience of a Conservative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conscience of a Conservative (Library of Congress Catalogue Card #60-12269) is a book written by Arizona Senator and 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in 1960.
The 1960 MacFadden edition is 127 pages in length and was published in the United States. The book, which was ghostwritten by L. Brent Bozell Jr., covers such topics as education, labor unions and policies, civil rights, agricultural policy and farm subsidies, social welfare programs, and income taxation. The book is considered to be a significant statement of politically and economically American conservative ideas which were to gain influence during the following decades.
The book continues to inspire contemporary political commentary. John Dean's 2006 book Conservatives without Conscience, for example, draws both its title and some of its principles from Goldwater's book.
