Description
Towards a Conservative Left offers the first comprehensive English-language introduction to the thought of Jean-Claude Michéa. Over the past three decades, Michéa has staked out a place for himself as France's foremost "left populist." A fierce critic of the illusions of progress and champion of the "common decency" that should (but no longer does) inform left politics, Michéa shows how the left's focus on cultural liberalism has become a crucial element in today's neoliberal economic order. At a time when the old divisions between "left" and "right" have never seemed less self-evident, Michéa invites us all to rethink our positions and imagine politics afresh. The book opens with an introduction by its editor, the intellectual historian Michael C. Behrent, who situates the development of Michéa's thought in the context of contemporary French political life and shows how its guiding preoccupations, far from being limited to that context, speak directly to our own political moment.
