5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Agree With Everything, but, April 2, 2000
By A Customer
I had to give this all five stars. It is a classic of conservative thought. Not libertarian or pro-capitalist thought, either, CONSERVATIVE thought.

What does that mean? It means that Kristol faces up to the fact that capitalism has some anti-conservative implications, its profit orientation and individualism can undermine the stability of families and neighborhoods. He is not willing to accept that price, and thinks that capitalism ought to be reigned in. That is why he gives it only "two cheers" rather than the "three cheers" customary for unconditional approval.

This book is full of insights, even when it aggravates.
