Default The Right Nation

Has anyone read this by Micklethwait and Wooldridge? They are two writers for the Economist who explain the history and make up of the conservative movement in America and why in many ways America is a conservative country. It has proven so far to be very fair explaining how Fox News is infact biased but also dispelling many of the conspiracy myths of the left. I think anyone who enjoys following the inner workings of politics would enjoy this book. I was particularly interested in the portions dealing with role of think tanks. Additionally it was enjoyable to learn The Goldwater candidacy and why is was so important to Republican politics.

I've finished the first two parts which so far have been very good and the last section seems to be following suit. It's a bit long at 415 pages but I've been crusing through it.

I think if your a Dynasty or Andy Fox type you would enjoy this book.
