Market Liberals vs. Conservatives — 3 Comments

    • No, what he is getting at (and I know, for sure, that this is terribly confusing!!) is that both the Democrats and the Republicans are supporting an agenda driven by Corporate America that devastates the environment and cripples communities, world-wide. Instead, Bowers is attempting to gather all of the disparate ideas of the “alternative” communities and define them as “Conservative” – that is, they conserve proven ways of living and being. If you have never read Wendell Berry, I think you would like him.

      It is not surprising that you are confused – this muddled way of thinking was born during the Enlightenment and it has been continuously added to for the last 300 (or more) years. Bowers is a philosopher and has studied the writings of those he references – an accomplishment beyond the ability of most mere mortals!
