neoconservatism

Version of conservatism that emerged in the USA in opposition to the liberal social and political attitudes of the 1960s. It advocates a narrow, patriarchal approach to morality and family life, extols the virtues of Western capitalism as a system that encourages individual initiative and freedom, and attacks the notion of the state as the promoter of equality and as a provider of welfare.
