Radical changes to it were sparked by presidential nominee Barry Goldwater and led by presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. It opposes big government policies around income inequalities, social inequalities, health care, the environment, and climate change, because such policies might infringe on personal freedom. Whereas in 1953, Eisenhower told Congress that Social Security was "an essential part of our economic and social life," Goldwater in 1960 wrote that its 6-percent tax "compels millions of individual to postpone until later years the enjoyment of wealth they might otherwise enjoy today." In The Republican Evolution, political scientist Kenneth Janda documents the evolution of the Republican Party's purported philosophies by considering thousands of party planks voted on during Republican National Conventions since before the Civil War. It describes the Republican Party's experience over three different historical eras. The party's illustrious Nationalism era lasted from 1860 to 1924, during which Republicans emphasized "order" over "anarchy." In their Neoliberalism era from 1928 to 1960, Republicans downplayed government, favoring the individual over the state. In 1964, the party entered an era of Ethnocentrism, demeaning national government and favoring white Christians over others. In this era, Republicans acted increasingly as a social tribe catering to their dwindling base. Today, the party operates in reverse, opposing national government while sowing sectionalism by pursuing the Democrats' old "states' rights" philosophy"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 324.2734 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
