A Reactionary Theory of Modern History

Mencius Moldbug notes that the only history taught and discussed today comes from a decidedly progressive point of view, so he offers up ten books from which to construct a reactionary theory of modern history:

• Edmund Burke — Reflections on the Revolution in France.
• Henry Maine — Popular Government.
• W.E.H. Lecky — Democracy and Liberty.
• Walter Lippmann — Public Opinion.
  
• Edgar Lee Masters — Lincoln the Man.
• Albert Jay Nock — Memoirs of a Superfluous Man.
  
• John T. Flynn — As We Go Marching.
• Bertrand de Jouvenel — On Power.
• Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn — Liberty or Equality.
  
• James Burnham — Suicide of the West.
