Trumpism in America: The Conservative's Noon

A popular science book by Georgy Asatryan, Deputy Director of the Center at the Institute for World Military Economics and Strategy of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (NIU VShE) and Associate Professor, in which the author consistently examines the origins and development of American conservative and liberal ideas—from the Puritans and the Pilgrim Fathers, through the worldview of the Founding Fathers, to modern times.

Georgy Asatryan’s work is included in the series “Popular Politics,” devoted to key geopolitical topics in Russia and the world.

The policy of the sitting U.S. President Donald Trump is considered here through the lens of a thorough historical analysis of American conservatism.

The book provides a coherent presentation of the topic: from the religious communities of the first settlers to today’s political and economic elites.

The reader will learn how the ideology of Trumpism was formed—often associated with “rednecks” and contrasted with the liberal tradition.

Drawing on many years of academic experience, including work in the United States, Georgy Asatryan debunks common clichés about America and describes the current state of Russian–American relations without bias.
