Synopsis
What do Conservatives believe in? How can a commitment to free-market economics be reconciled with respect for tradition and community? Is Thatcherism an aberration? What are the issues facing the Conservative Party today?
David Willetts sets out to answer such key questions in this lively and accessible book.
He begins with a thought-provoking interpretation of the history of conservatism. Drawing on writers from Hume and Burke to Hayek and Oakeshott, the author also offers an account of Conservative thought, arguing that its central belief is in economic and political freedom sustained by a shared culture. David Willetts then looks at contemporary political issues. He gives a lucid account of monetarism, a Conservative view of the welfare state and of constitutional reform. Finally, he investigates the difficulties and challenges presented by the European question.
For Conservatives and their opponents alike Modern Conservatism forms an invaluable introduction to the central current of British political thought.
