About this listen

Offering a “CliffsNotes guide” to some of the most important literary works of our time, Benjamin Wiker, author of 10 Books That Screwed Up the World, turns his discerning eye from the great texts that have done damage to Western civilization to the great texts that could help rebuild it.

This book features a range of works, from classics such as Democracy in America and The Federalist Papers to more popular classics like Sense and Sensibility and The Tempest. Through these works, Wiker reveals some of the most important lessons for our time, as well as the true meaning of conservatism. Written with an educational purpose and a witty tone, this is a must listen for conservatives, Republicans, and book lovers everywhere.

“A valuable contribution to the most urgent intellectual project of our day.” (Elizabeth Kantor, Ph.D., author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature)

Full of many contradictions

I read this book as a libertarian trying to understand what conservatism is. I'm still none the wiser. It sloppily lumps Hobbes, Jefferson and socialists in together as 'liberals' which is a laughable concept. It tries to tear down Rand (not a libertarian but whose thoughts on human rights is utterly brilliant and inspired modern libertarians such as Rothbard) by showing some moral failings (something that many other authors were guilty of) and says that her childhood devotion to a specific hero concept was wrong whilst exalting Tolkien (a brilliant author himself) for the same thing. This is intellectually weak.
