- Title
Corporations and the rise of American Conservatism.
- Authors
Phillips-Fein, Kim
- Abstract
The article discusses the response of U.S. business enterprises to the rise of conservatism in the country. According to the author, conservative ideas concerning the primacy of the free market as well as the dangers of powerful labor unions, interventionist state and government regulation were rejected by political elites and intellectuals. He adds that social critics and historians point to the backlash against the successes of social movements in the 1960s when they are trying to explain the victories of conservative politics. Aside from referring to such movements, the author also mentions that the cultural reaction against the radicals who fought for feminism and civil rights contributed to the rise of conservatism in the country.
