<P>First published in 1987. Towards the end of the twentieth century there was a resurgence of thinking about politics, economics and society referred to variously as the ''New Right¿, the radical right, neo-conservatism, economic liberalism or libertarianism. Although the New Right is not a single coherent movement it represented a clear alternative to the prevailing social-democratic consensus and had had considerable influence on government policy in both America and Britain. </P><P>This book presents an introductory survey of the New Right worldwide. It examines the varieties of free-market and ''monetarist'' economic thought and introduces the reader to the public-choice critique of public policy. In political philosophy the book analyses American and British conservative thought and compares conservatism with neo-liberalism. The author pays particular attention to the New Right¿s analysis of constitutionalism and its critique of the dominance of ¿politics¿ over ¿economics'' durin
