As a follow-up to his book 10 Books That Screwed Up the World, Dr. Benjamin Wiker turns his discerning eye from the great texts that have done damage to Western civilization to the great texts that could help rebuild it. He surveys a range of works, from classics such as Democracy in America and The Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers to more popular classics like Sense and Sensibility and The Tempest. Through witty analysis, Wiker effectively shows how ideas have consequences.
Wiker also addresses an upswell of conservatism that is largely defined negatively. Conservatives know what they are against...but do they know what they should be for? Listeners will discover the profound positive arguments for conservatism.
