By John P. Jones III
I first read this book before I kept track of the books I have read, which commenced in the summer of 1962. My 50 cent copy was the 14th printing, in August, 1961 (it was first published in March, 1960). Back then, a lot of Americans were dissatisfied with the direction their country was taking (sound familiar?), and yearned for some answers. Barry Goldwater, a US Senator from Arizona, was proposing those answers in this book. Nominally, they make some sense, and can be confirmed by the appropriate, but selective examination of experience. Goldwater proclaimed America is: "...fundamentally a Conservative nation. The preponderant judgment of the American people, especially of the young people, is that the radical, or Liberal approach has not worked and is not working. They yearn for a return to Conservative principles." Goldwater would go on to become the Republican candidate in the 1964 Presidential election, and he would win precisely one of the 50 states, against a Johnson landslide. After eight more years, and a clear demonstration that many youth were not conservative, the liberal "Goldwater," George McGovern, would win precisely one of the 50 states, against the Nixon landslide of 1972. Ah, the `60's, "interesting times" to borrow a phrase from a Chinese proverb.Goldwater is a strong advocate of "state's rights," and admits the phrase is somewhat tainted due to its use by segregationists. He unequivocally states that he is in favor of integrated public schools, but also states that he does not believe he should impose his beliefs on the people of South Carolina or Mississippi. He opposes the efforts of the Supreme Court since he believes the Constitution provides no basis for the Federal government to be involved in education. He has a rather "fundamentalist" view of the Constitution, believing the "Founding Fathers" got it completely right the first time around, and says: "In effect, what the Court said that what matters is not the ideas of the men who wrote the Constitution, but the COURT'S ideas" (emphasis added).Other areas of concern, and they are rarely heard about today, is "Freedom for the Farmer" and "Freedom for Labor." Quick: when was the last time you read an article about massive subsidies that created mountains of "farm surplus"? And when was the last time you read an article about the nefarious influences of "Big Labor"? The proverbial "family farmer" left the farm, and Goldwater saw nothing wrong with this trend that had been in effect since the foundation of the Republic. Now it is all "agribusiness." The power of the Labor unions has been largely eclipsed, due to the "outsourcing" of manufacturing (and jobs) to non-Americans who are willing to work for much less, coupled with a vast underground pool of "undocumented migrants" who are happy to accept a few crumbs, and cause no problems.The last portion of the book is a clarion call to fight for "victory" over the commies. It is a grimly binary world. It is the "commies" against us, seeking world domination. No hint that there might be major fractures in this supposedly monolithic world, as would occur between China and Russia, or all the other little "eddies" of differences, for example, Yugoslavia, which would largely mirror a variety of other nationalistic differences in the so-called "Free World," which contain a large dollop of dictators, but they were "our" dictators as the expression had it. Goldwater concluded with an awkward two sentences, both grammatically, and morally, which may have been the reason he failed to gain a wider following: "The other runs the risk of war, and holds forth the promise of victory. For Americans who cherish their lives, but their freedom more, the choice cannot be difficult." Dead, but "free"?Back when I first read the book, I was a "believer," and after not so many years, became an apostate. What to make of the book, and its rather simplistic, but never truly outrageous ideas, save for the last one, five and a half decades later: I'll give it 3-stars.

This is one of the best written political philosophy books I have read and for those who normally find such books stodgy and hard work, this is one for you.Barry Goldwater clearly expounds the core principles of US constitutional conservatism that has dominated movement conservatism since Barry Goldwater's own ill-fated run for the White House in 1964.For British conservatives, this book does have a lot of relevance despite its consistent reference to the US Constitution as it forms an important part of understanding how classical liberalism began to reemerge in the 1960's and would, under Reagan and Thatcher, become the dominant political economic theory from the 1980's to the present day.

Goldwater gives an energetic account of his interpretion of the role of US government & its historical purpose. Succinctly written, he often gets to the point, is not afraid to land punches, but doesnt come across as a showboating radical, either. The interpreration of the role of the US government in state affairs is particularly illuminating. The 2nd half of the book loses some of the structure & focus of the early part as he grapples with foreign policy.
