Paul Gottfried is a great man, and you should read this book. He has spent decades offering a consistent political message, paleoconservatism, a name he coined. Of itself, his philosophy would certainly be of interest, an important thread in decades of ferment on the Right. What makes Gottfried and his thought unique, however, is that […] The post The Essential Paul Gottfried: Essays from 1984–2024 (Paul Gottfried) first appeared on The Worthy House • Towards A Politics of Future Past.| The Worthy House • Towards A Politics of Future Past

The history of nineteenth-century Russia does not get much attention in the West, and what little it does get usually focuses on people and events seen as precursors to Russia’s chaotic later history.

Mirrors for princes, books of advice aimed at those who rule, have fallen out of style in our modern, supposedly democratic age. Books of advice for commoners, however, are ubiquitous, though most of them are stupid, because wisdom comes from experience, not rumination, and most authors offer only the latter.
