With his eye on the 2008 elections and believing that American liberals need "to answer back effectively against conservative orthodoxies that are [...] strongly held and widely disseminated," Coates (Anglo-American studies, Wake Forest U.) recommends liberal responses to conservative arguments on "trickle-down economics," welfare reform, social security reform, health care, immigration control, church-state relations, the wisdom of the war in Iraq, and the ability of the Republican Party to manage the American economy. For each of these issues, Coates first outlines the conservative argument in its relatively sophisticated form and then presents the liberal rebuttal. Little new ideological ground is paved, but what is most notable in the proceedings is Coates' willingness to robustly defend the ideas of New Deal and Great Society liberalism, a proclivity often lacking in Democratic supporters of the Clinton era and today.
