Focusing on key figures and important intellectual circles of the American right, the volume offers a path through political cultures, beginning with the rise of anti-communist conservatism and reaching today's post-liberalism. The right during the Cold War was shaped by thinkers such as James Burnham and Max Eastman, who had extraordinary intellectual adventures that began in the revolutionary left, and by the "National Review," a fundamental cultural catalyst of the 1950s and 1960s. In the subsequent decades, the neoconservative movement emerged, destined to exert a strong influence on the White House. The final point of the volume is the post-liberal right of the Trump era, both in its ethnonationalist version and in its Californian technolibertarian variant.
