In The\u003ci\u003e Politics of Prudence\u003c\/i\u003e, his twenty-ninth book (and the last to be published during his lifetime), Kirk endeavors to defend a truly conservative \"prudential politics,\" as opposed to the \"ideological politics\" now often advanced by self-identified conservatives and those with whom they are allied, including libertarians and neoconservatives. Kirk lays out, in separate chapters, ten principles, events, thinkers, and books that have defined and shaped the American conservative mind and heart. He also examines the difficulties posed for conservatives by increasing political and economic centralization, imprudent foreign policy, educational decline, and other symptoms of cultural decay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gateway Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684515318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.79d","brand":"Russell Kirk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075540582581,"sku":"9781684515318","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e0c226c5-422d-4c48-995a-6aeb1db82fb4.jpg?v=1691468346","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-politics-of-prudence-9781684515318","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
