Produktbeschreibung

Toryism and the Tory Democracy is a political treatise written by Standish O'Grady in 1886. The book explores the history and ideology of Toryism, a political philosophy that emphasizes traditional values, social hierarchy, and a strong central government. O'Grady argues that Toryism is essential to the preservation of democracy, as it provides a stable foundation for society and protects against the excesses of radicalism and populism. The book also examines the role of the Tory party in British politics and its relationship with other political movements. Drawing on historical examples and contemporary debates, O'Grady offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of Toryism and its relevance to modern democracy. Overall, Toryism and the Tory Democracy is an important work of political theory that remains relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
