Description
Conservatism: A Rediscovery by Yoram Hazony explores a fundamental misconception about conservatism. For decades, it has been associated with free market capitalism and a small state. However, award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that this narrow view is misguided. Hazony examines the history of conservatism in England, tracing its roots to thinkers like Richard Hooker and Edmund Burke, and its influence on American figures such as Lincoln. He also analyses how the right's embrace of 'fusionism' and liberalism led to a corruption of the conservative tradition from the 1960s onwards. In this powerful counter-cultural case, Hazony makes a compelling argument for reviving conservatism in response to progressive hegemony. With personal experience and insight, he highlights the importance of personal behaviour, piety, and virtue in rebuilding the culture and politics of conservatism.
