If you're interested in exploring the roots and nuances of political philosophy, this book might appeal to you, especially if you're keen on understanding the principles and values that underpin conservative thought. It offers insights into how these ideas have shaped society and continue to influence contemporary political debates.

Conservatism

The idea that conservatism amounts to little more than being in favour of free market capitalism and a small state - widely held for decades - is seriously mistaken.

Description

Award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is to return to a genuine conservatism that is distinct from the hollow promises of contemporary economic and social liberalism.

He explains how this great Anglo-American conservative tradition – rooted in empiricism, faith, and the nation – emerged and developed in England in the thought of men like Richard Hooker and Edmund Burke, and later inspired American figures ranging from the Federalists to Lincoln. He analyses how this tradition was corrupted and subverted from the 1960s onwards by the right's misconceived embrace of 'fusionism' and liberalism, and how it can be revived today to respond to an era of progressive hegemony.

Reflecting on his own first-hand experiences – and the importance of personal behaviour, piety, and virtue in rebuilding the culture and politics of conservatism – Hazony makes a powerful counter-cultural case for a revivified conservatism that no-one dissatisfied with the current state of the political right can afford to miss.

Peter Thiel's review praises Yoram Hazony for presenting a compelling argument for conservative nationalism in Conservatism. He highlights the book's strength in challenging libertarianism, noting its roots in a tradition that stretches from the Old Testament to figures like George Washington and Alexander Hamilton.
