James Burnham (November 22, 1905 – July 28, 1987) was an American philosopher and political theorist.
He chaired the philosophy department at New York University; His first book was An Introduction to Philosophical Analysis (1931).
Burnham became
a prominent Trotskyist activist in the 1930s. He rejected Marxism and became an even more influential theorist of the right as a leader of the American conservative movement. His book The Managerial Revolution, published in 1941, speculated on the future of capitalism. Burnham was an editor and a regular contributor to William F. Buckley's conservative magazine National Review on a variety of topics. He rejected containment of the Soviet Union and called for the rollback of communism worldwide.
