Reaganland and the Rise of the New Right

You're invited to join us for a Prospect virtual event...

Monday, August 24, Noon Eastern

Over two decades (and more than three thousand pages), Rick Perlstein
has published definitive works about the emerging dominance of
conservatism in American politics: Before the Storm
(2002),
Nixonland
(2008),
and The Invisible Bridge
(2014).
Now, the saga's final installment, Reaganland
-
covering the years from Jimmy Carter's election to his defeat at the
hands of Ronald Reagan - has been released.

Perlstein's body of work explains the nation's journey from rejecting
Barry Goldwater as a dangerous ideologue to embracing Reagan, who had
much the same agenda. New Right organization and a pallid Democratic
Party at war with itself led to this outcome, and the result helped
produce the world we live in now.

On the first day of the Republican National Convention, Perlstein joins
Prospect executive editor David Dayen for a one-hour discussion about
the lessons of the 1970s and the rise of the conservative movement, as
well as where it finds itself today.
