Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In his new book, Frum (The Right Man), former speechwriter to President Bush, offers a conservative blueprint for accommodating challenges central to the next half-century of American life. Drawing on his expert knowledge of domestic politics and foreign policy, Frum shows how Republicans must evolve in accordance with the challenges and fluidity of contemporary America to win hearts, minds and elections. After staking out viably conservative positions on the salient political battles in America-healthcare, education, the economy, foreign policy, embryonic stem cell research, taxation and the like-Frum shines when dealing with the grand strategy of taxation, particularly his pro-growth model for accommodating domestic spending obligations such as social security. His analysis is particularly striking in its advocacy for consumption taxation in lieu of taxes that stifle investment and free enterprise. Taxes aimed at upper-class consumers rather than savings and investment is a provocative idea worthy of consideration. And although Frum's ideas are good, if not brilliant, the final chapter, in which he describes the errant behavior of the Bush administration, seems like a tardy rebuke to a president he once called The Right Man.

At a time when much of the nation thinks the government is on the wrong track, David Frum, an avowed ideologue, examines the current state of the Conservative movement and offers suggestions for improvement. Arguing that the successful positions of the 1980s are no longer viable, Frum redefines the issues and offers Republican Conservatives a game plan for a comeback to political power. Lloyd James gives a clear and easy-to-follow reading of the text. This no-frills presentation is an advantage as Frum's analysis of past mistakes and proposals for future actions become a bit convoluted. James's tone remains matter-of-fact even when the text tends a bit toward whininess. He conveys a wry humor that keeps his performance from being a straight reading.
