Lincoln Unbound is a thoughtful mix of history and
politics from Rich Lowry, the New York Times bestselling author and
editor of National Review, which traces Abraham Lincoln’s ambitious climb
from provincial upstart to political powerhouse.
Revered across the political spectrum, President Lincoln believed in a small
but active government in a nation defined by aspiration. He embraced the market
and the amazing transportation and communications revolutions beginning to take
hold. He helped give birth to the modern industrial economy.
Abraham Lincoln’s vision of an upwardly mobile society that rewards and
supports individual striving was wondrously realized. Now, it is under threat.
To meet these challenges, conservative columnist Rich Lowry draws us back to
the lessons of Lincoln. It is imperative, he argues, to preserve a fluid
economy that makes it possible for individuals to thrive and live the American
dream.
