[NYPOST] American conservatism was for too long under the spell of what might be called "market fundamentalism": It mindlessly treated all private-sector action as good and all government action as bad. At worst, this fundamentalism gave rise to corporate boosterism and outright cronyism that repelled voters from the GOP.But today’s political realignment seems to be breaking the spell — and not a moment too soon.
These days, a rising cohort of writers and intellectuals associated with the New Right seeks to recover the "Two-Cheers-for-Capitalism" ethos of Irving Kristol: that is, to allow for a greater government role in channeling market efficiency toward the traditional conservative political ends of justice, human flourishing and the common good.
