Historian Hannah Gurman combines intellectual biography and political history, offering incisive profiles of key thinkers including Patrick Deneen, Adrian Vermeule, Yoram Hazony, Erika Bachiochi, Mary Harrington, Oren Cass, and Sohrab Ahmari. These figures have played a crucial role in legitimizing Trumpism beyond the MAGA base, providing intellectual fuel for the next generation of right-wing leaders who embrace such varied—and poorly understood—intellectual strains as Catholic integralism, neoconservative Zionism, reactionary feminism, and “pro-worker” conservatism. These ideas, and their proponents, are poised to determine the course of America’s future, driving the creation of new think tanks and media outlets, rebranding the agendas of existing conservative organizations, and dramatically reshaping reactionary politics in the United States and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003eWe ignore the post-liberals, Gurman argues, at our own peril. \u003cem\u003eThe Opportunists\u003c\/em\u003e is a major effort to expose the new ideas shaping our perilous world—and a first step in understanding how to combat them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hannah Gurman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48400274489595,"sku":"9798893850499","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_37f29050-b85f-40cd-aa5a-1db4bc27576b.jpg?v=1778102058","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-opportunists-9798893850499","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
