520			_aGenuinely conservative thought-with its emphasis on degree and hierarchy, authority, hereditary status, deference, and the sanctity of tradition-has never had much of an impact in America. Our prevailing climate of opinion, as Louis Hartz and others have shown, has always been liberal. The relatively fluid class structure, the absence of a feudal tradition, and the prevalence of an acquisitive individualism-all inimical to the twin restraints of custom and deliberate control-have seen to it that Americans have been unreceptive to and even suspicious of the appeals of traditional conservative thought. Most of the time. what has passed for conservatism in this country has turned out to be, as in the ideas of Senator Goldwater and his speech writers, a slightly adulterated version of Manchesterian laissezfaire liberalism.
