Darwin's Conservatives: The Misguided Quest - Paperback

by John G. West (Author)

Can Darwin's theory of evolution help save conservatism? A number of prominent conservatives seem to think so, boldly insisting that Darwinism supports everything from free enterprise to the traditional family. But in this provocative new book, Dr. John West contends that "Darwin's conservatives" are embarked on a misguided quest for fools' gold, arguing that they ultimately misunderstand both Darwinism and conservatism.
