Focusing on key figures and important intellectual circles of the American right, the volume offers a path through political cultures, beginning with the birth 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 were central figures in 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 concluding point of the volume is, finally, the post-liberal right of the Trump era, both in its ethno-nationalist version and in the Californian technolibertarian one.
