1. The Reactionary Mind
Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump
The book explores the evolution of conservative thought, arguing that it is fundamentally a reaction to progressive movements and social change. It examines how conservative thinkers and politicians have historically sought to preserve existing hierarchies and power structures, often by adapting revolutionary ideas to serve their own ends. Through a series of essays, the author analyzes the motivations and strategies of various conservative figures, suggesting that their primary aim is to resist and counteract the challenges posed by movements advocating for equality and emancipation.
