Summary

The idea that American conservatism is identical to 'classical' liberalism - widely held since the 1960s - is seriously mistaken. The award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain - the conservative traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world. This book explains how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and liberal revolution.
