Conservatism Revisited

Focusing on Prince Metternich as a quintessential conservative, the work presents a unique analysis that argues for the compatibility of conservatism with social progress and economic reform. Viereck contends that conservatism is essential for sustaining a free and reasonable society, challenging the notion that it serves only the privileged. Despite facing criticism from both the left and right, the book reaffirms conservatism's relevance in modern society and culture, positioning it as a vital perspective in contemporary political thought.
