Edmund Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France" is a powerful critique of the French Revolution, arguing that it was based on abstract principles that ignored the complexities of human society and the importance of tradition. Burke's work is a classic statement of conservative political philosophy, emphasizing the importance of gradual change, respect for institutions, and the dangers of radicalism. The "Reflections" remains a relevant and insightful commentary on the challenges facing modern societies. Burke's emphasis on prudence, tradition, and the importance of preserving social order continues to resonate with conservatives today. The book is a cornerstone of conservative political thought.
In 'Economics in One Lesson', Henry Hazlitt provides a concise and instructive introduction to economics by dissecting common economic fallacies. The book's central lesson is that good economics involves considering the long-term and indirect consequences of any policy for all groups, not just the immediate effects on a specific group. Hazlitt uses examples like the 'broken window fallacy' to illustrate how focusing only on immediate benefits can overlook the broader, often negative, consequences. The book advocates for free markets, economic liberty, and non-governmental solutions, making it a critical read for understanding basic economic principles and the pitfalls of government intervention[1][4][5].
Lewis Brackpool is an independent journalist and freedom of information expert investigating government overreach, censorship, and media manipulation. With a sharp eye for buried truths, he uncovers how the state embeds messaging into entertainment, stonewalls transparency, and shapes public opinion through covert influence.
In this interview, we explore media collusion, the expansion of the surveillance state, the rise of the managerial class, and the bloated machinery of modern government. Lewis makes the case for radical transparency, smaller government, and a new wave of grassroots accountability.
