Excerpt from the book, The Rational Optimist:
"Politically, as Brink Lindsey has diagnosed, the coincidence of wealth with toleration has led to the bizarre paradox of a conservative movement that embraces economic change but hates its social consequences and a liberal movement that loves the social consequences but hates the economic source from which they come. One side denounced capitalism but gobbled up its fruits; the other cursed the fruits while defending the system that bore them."
