You know, if the American Right wants to actually change anything, they need some coherent explanation of how society works. Communism has Marxism, Trads have fundementalist religion, and racialists have 'muh aryan blood'.
But I do think that you could develop a new direction for the right using Why Nations Fail (which I highly recommend everyone give a read). The central idea of WNF is that societies achieve prosperity and technological innovation through meritocratic social and economic institutions. By using this theory to analyze the modern political situation, you could form a type of broad populism focused on meritocracy and cultural and civic nationalism.
