Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, you'll find something to love AND something to hate in Steve Hilton's new book.
That's exactly why you should read it. And think about it.
At a time when political polarization is at an all time high, Hilton's book tries to defuse some of the tensions, which might seem like an odd goal for someone who works for Fox News and has never been associated with the left. Yet, that's exactly what he tries to do in this book.
He tries to make the case that populism does not need to be racist, sexist, or xenophobic. He also does not think that populism has to lead to leftist economic solutions either. In terms of the economy, he tries to strike a balance between security for all which the left would like and a commitment to market principles that have long been honored in the breach by right and left alike. Put simply, he calls for limited government but also for a government that is one partner in providing a society that works for everyone.
It took me a long time to read this book despite the fact that it is both reasonably short and quite well written. It took me a long time because I had to think especially about the ways the ideas he raises could be used to bring left and right closer together. Maybe not today. Maybe a few years down the road when/if cooler heads like his begin to prevail.
