The Moral Case For Conservatism

Samuel Burgess holds that conservatism is not just a political tradition but a moral one, and offers a clear challenge to the rising tide of socialist and liberal thought in our society. Burgess examines a number of areas of public life, from economics to architecture, making the case that conservatism provides a moral foundation for a healthy, shared existence. He draws on key voices of conservatism, from Edmund Burke and Benjamin Disraeli to Conservatives of the 20th century. He believes that conservatism can help people fulfil their deepest aspirations, support their families and bring their communities closer together. Above all, Burgess asks us to remember the human heart of the conservative tradition.
