Book Synopsis

Conservatives and progressives rarely agree on muchâbut one thing many agree upon is that itâs not OK to be a moderate. This book shows they are wrong.

In Why Itâs OK to be a Moderate, Marcus Arvan shows how many of historyâs worst evils have resulted from far-right and far-left radicalism, how escalating conflicts between conservatives and progressives are undermining democracy, and how many widely hailed social and political achievements have been achieved by moderates and radicals working in constructive tension with each other.

Using philosophy, science, and historical analysis, Arvan shows that critics of moderates tend to equate them with spineless centrists, but that most moderates arenât centrists, falling into diverse categories across the political spectrum. Arvan then shows that although radicals tend to be popular in their era, many of them have gone down in infamy, while many moderates, like Abraham Lincoln or Clement Attlee, have
