Ilana mercer the trump revolution the donald s creative destruction deconstructed
The Trump Revolution: The Donald's Creative Destruction Deconstructed is the third book by paleolibertarian author and columnist Ilana Mercer. Published on June 29, 2016, TTR appears to be the first analysis of the Trump phenomenon from a libertarian perspective.
Contents
Summary
Constructed as a series of real-time essays, author Ilana Mercer takes an analytical look at the presidential campaign of Donald Trump and argues its far-reaching effects, "smashing an enmeshed political spoils system to bits: the media complex, the political and party complex, the conservative poseur complex."
Critical reception
The Trump Revolution received generally positive reviews with Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, a retired professor of history and author calling it "[T]he best extended analysis yet published of the Trump phenomenon", while author and political theorist Chris Matthew Sciabarra declared it a "a testament to Mercer's muscular writing and clever reasoning", and also observed that Mercer is " ... not necessarily for the policies of Trump, but for the process of Trump. This, in itself, is the most interesting of her arguments in a well-constructed book of essays that builds the case for that process". Reviewing it for Townhall, Jack Kerwick referred to it as "the first libertarian defense of the Trump Process" that is "especially suited for libertarian and conservative-leaning Trump skeptics".
