Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This compelling book argues for a Tory Democracy, framing its case against Liberalism with historical depth and philosophical insight. The author traces the etymology of the two factions, arguing that Whigs and Tories, Liberals and Radicals have transformed over the centuries yet remain at odds in their fundamental values. Drawing on his foundational belief that the state is a living body rooted in the culture and tradition of its people, the author calls for a re-evaluation of true democracy. An accessible and challenging read, it goes back to the very beginnings of democratic thought and political philosophy to re-examine the foundations of our present-day political system. The timeless relevance of this book will interest those drawn to the history and practice of democratic government and the challenges it faces from political expediency and bureaucratic overreach.
