Bücher von Peter Viereck

Viereck examines the ethics and political philosophy of the New Conservatism and explains why this movement has, in part deservedly, failed.

?One can speak of this book only in superlatives. In more than twenty years of reviewing, the present writer can recall few books to match this one for its originality of ideas, its provocative challenge, its penetrating wit, and its sheer brilliancy of expression.?-Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science

Are there potentials in central city revitalization? What role will the federal government play in determining future retail locational choices? Shopping center development has never been more popular - or more hazardous than it is today

This history of conservatism by a renowned historian and social critic attempts to provide a concise, balanced picture of conservative thought in all its different shadings and cultural contexts. In this book, after each main conservative thesis, the anti-conservative rebuttal is summarized, and the reader is allowed to reach his own conclusions.

This is an analysis of that quintessential conservative, Prince Metternich, and offers evidence that cultural and political conservatism may perhaps be best adapted to sustain a free and reasonable society.
