Conservatism: A Rediscovery, written by Yoram Hazony, is an exploration of the ancient and enduring principles of conservatism and how they are essential to a healthy and prosperous society. Hazony begins by debunking the modern idea that conservatism is simply a political ideology or a tool of the establishment. He argues that conservatism is rooted in older, more fundamental principles that have been forgotten in the modern age. Hazony goes on to explore the basic foundation of conservatism, which is the belief that traditional values, moral principles, and social norms are essential for a well-ordered society. He argues that these values should be maintained even in the face of rapid change and technological advancement. The author then discusses the different ways in which conservatism can be understood and applied, including its approach to economics, foreign policy, and social issues. The second part of the book focuses on the importance of conserving the nation-state. Hazony argues that the nation-state is necessary for preserving the values and customs of a particular people, as well as protecting their sovereignty and stability. He further argues that a nation-state has the responsibility to ensure that its citizens are not exploited by foreign powers.
