The Revolution

country=USA
language=English

ummary

Paul describes the book as "an opportunity to highlight and explain [my views] in the kind of systematic fashion that campaign speeches and presidential debates simply do not allow", "a long-term manifesto based on ideas, and perhaps some short-term marching orders", and "what the agenda of George W. Bush's successor should be if we want to move toward a free society once again". Contrasting Paul's ideas against "the deadening consensus that crosses party lines, that dominates our major media", Chapter 1 describes recent American elections as false dilemmas and presenting the message of freedom and individual rights as rallying a new widespread revolution, yet one grounded in the tradition of Robert Taft Republicanism. The longer Chapters 2-6 each take up a particular political issue in turn: foreign policy, the U.S. Constitution, economic solutions, civil liberties, and hard money. Paul closes by stressing the need for education "in the scholarship of liberty", and listing books that have influenced him and which he recommends to his readers.

Reception

Upon release, the book moved to the top of several bestseller lists.

Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit gave the book a favorable, though mixed, review, saying, "The book benefits from many of the Paul campaign’s virtues, in the form of accessibility, clarity, and straightforwardness. On the other hand, it also suffers from some of the Paul campaign’s vices."

David Weigel of "Reason", a reporter who was critical of Paul's campaign and of his association with paleolibertarians like Lew Rockwell, reviewed the book favorably, comparing Paul's political ideas to those of fellow anti-war conservative Sen. Chuck Hagel. "Paul has a grand unified theory to offer readers, knowing full well that he's opening minds, not programming them," Weigel wrote, adding that he "offers readers, first and foremost, the lesson that 'leaders' and universally accepted concepts shouldn't be trusted. It is worried and informed neostructuralists who can change things, not historical 'great men.' If Ron Paul doesn't provide perfect solutions, he certainly provides a blueprint."
