Synopsis:

Targeting core tenets of the Tea Party movement, including political economy and economic history, Samuel Gregg makes the case for a new breed of conservative―the Tea Party Catholic. Long married to the conventional liberal ideologies of the past, American Catholics were largely wed to the political image of John F. Kennedy. Increasingly however, as Gregg declares, an ever-growing number of practicing Catholics have gravitated to the conservative side of American politics since the 1970s. Adding his voice to the popular chorus of conservative Catholics―which include his contemporary bestselling authors Michael Novak and Robert Sirico―Gregg examines the economic and social positions of the United States and defines where the Catholic Church falls on a host of issues, including a free-market economy, the welfare state, the role and size of government, and the very definition of liberty and freedom.

About the Author: Novak is the author of twenty-five books and over five hundred articles in the philosophy and theology of culture, including The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism (1982), for which he was awarded the Anthony Fisher Prize by Margaret Thatcher. Novak has served as Ambassador of the US Delegation to the UN Human Rights Commission and head of the US Delegation to the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe.
