>>14662683
Definitely keep Christopher Lasch and the Culture of Narcissism

But also:
>The True and Only Heaven: Progress and Its Critics
>The Revolt of the Elites: And the Betrayal of Democracy

>>14662606
Include books from Thomas E. Woods

>>14662606
Conservatives are retards both socially and economically. Why would you want literature on it?

For a Roger Scruton book, I think we should include his last work.

>Conservatism: An Invitation to the Great Tradition

>>14662728
Don't forget a pack of cigs

I’d also keep:
> The Origins and Principles of the American Revolution, compared with the Origin and Principles of the French Revolution by Friedrich Von Gentz (trans. by John Quincy Adams)
> Historical Consciousness; or, The Remembered Past by John Lukacs
>The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher
>Ideas Have Consequences by Richard M Weaver
>Why Liberalism Failed by Patrick J Deneen

>>14662683
Is The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk on Amazon the complete version? Some of the reviews are saying that it is an abridged version.

>>14662843
Not sure, I’ll have to check that out. But definitely get the complete version (he expended it like 20 years after the initial puplication).

>>14662725
Those are Neocons you are thinking about anon, not real conservatives.

>>14662710

I feel like we shouldn’t include libertarian authors (even paleolibertarians). I know they have worked together before, but most paleocons and tradscon don’t like the free market.

>>14662728
This one is great whether you want an intro or you’re more entrenched already

>>14662606
Conservatives are just slow liberals.

Where's Guenon(pbuh)?

>>14662869
I'm talking about real conservatives. There is a reason these people don't debate.

>>14663133
Those "real conservatives" you are talking about are neocons. They have taken over that whole establishment.

>>14664362
I'm talking about roger scruton conservatives.

>>14663133
>>14664362
>>14664397
>x are dumb
>not x, but y
>but y is x
>no, y is y
>no u!
/lit/ debate at its peak

Here is a good image.
