Summary: Why have conservatives fared so much better than progressives in recent decades, even though polls show no significant move to the right in public opinion? 'Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics' highlights one reason: that progressives often adopt impoverished modes of discourse, ceding the moral high ground to their conservative rivals. Stephen Hart also shows that some progressive groups are pioneering more robust ways of talking about their issues and values, providing examples other progressives could emulate.
