Rezensionen

John Higley has long been recognized as one of the foremost scholars of elite studies. The Endangered West is in some respects his magnum opus. While he recognizes that the prosperity and security of western societies is not primarily due to their virtue, he nonetheless sees them as an important human accomplishment that morally requires defending. There is much to be thankful for in this book.
