Slade, herself a devout Catholic and libertarian, defines fusionism as the marriage of the Judeo-Christian moral tradition and classical liberalism. In a time when both sides of the aisle have become enamored with big, bold government, fusionism has fallen out of favor. Slade charts the rise, influence, and aims of what she terms the newly ascendent Dissident Right with concern. This Dissident Right is eager, Slade details with depressing but manifest detail, to leave liberty, virtue, and at times even the Constitution behind in furtherance of its project. Those concerned about the health of the American political right will find plenty to ponder in Fusionism.
