Synopsis

From the intellectual leader of the Republican party, an unvarnished look into the state of the conservative movement today and a clear plan for what needs to be done to save the American Idea.

The Way Forward challenges conventional thinking, outlines his political vision for 2014 and beyond, and shows how essential conservatism is for the future of our nation.

Beginning with a careful analysis of the 2012 election--including a look at the challenge the GOP had in reaching a majority of voters and the prevalence of identity politics--Ryan examines the state of the Republican party and dissects its challenges going forward.

The Way Forward also offers a detailed critique of not only President Obama but of the progressive movement as a whole--its genesis, its underlying beliefs and philosophies, and how its policies are steering the country to certain ruin.

Culminating in a plan for the future, The Way Forward argues that the Republican Party is and must remain a conservative party, emphasizing conservatism in a way that demonstrates how it can modernize and appeal to both our deepest concerns and highest ideals.

Paul Ryan dishes up conservative platitudes throughout the story and fails to deliver the detailed policy proposals that I was hoping to read about.

Goodreads review by Ryan on July 01, 2016

Paul Ryan has laid out the conservative doctrine in a way that I have never experienced before in my lifetime. I had always wondered why my late grandfather, a public activist and extremely compassionate man, was a conservative. When in fact, he believed that government had a role in our lives.

Goodreads review by Keith on December 17, 2014

I'm very interested in politics, I read this entire book in just a couple of sittings. Though I don't have proof of this, I think this could very well be Paul Ryan's way of saying, "If Mitt doesn't run in 2016, then I will". He doesn't explicitly say "If I were elected president, this is what I'd do......more
