About this book

The Essential Paul Gottfried, Essays from 1984-2024 collects four decades of essays from one of America's most insightful and provocative political thinkers. This collection is a testament to his intellectual rigor and courage, and showcases his remarkable ability to bring clarity to the many issues that mainstream liberals and establishment conservatives have persistently misunderstood. Wherever public discourse finds itself at an impasse to make sense of our political environment, Gottfried stands, again and again, as a rare point of light. This volume covers Gottfried's analyses of neoconservatism, illuminating the movement's evolution over time, its key figures, and political consequences. It also includes his early examinations of the Alternative Right, identifying its ideological roots and anticipating its rise in the 2010s. The volume's treatment of Gottfried's demystification of both fascism and communism offers a fresh view of these (often purposefully) distorted ideologies, replacing myth and innuendo with much-needed historical precision and analytical depth. Taking a broader historical view, this volume also explores the post-Marxist Left, Carl Schmitt's political theory, and the cultural aftermath of the World Wars. Finally, discussions in later chapters of declining traditional conservatism, the erosion of WASP cultural dominance, and the rise of multiculturalism and political correctness reveal deep transformations in contemporary Western societies that only a writer like Gottfried, uncompromised by the moralistic fashions of his peers, can dissect with the honesty and seriousness they deserve. The Essential Paul Gottfried is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the ideological currents shaping our times. Perhaps no living writer is better equipped to make sense of the political realignments of the last half-century and what they imply for our current moment. This volume not only affirms Gottfried's stature among the greatest political thinkers of the American right, but reveals precisely why his scholarship and razor-sharp analysis is needed now more than ever.
