The Naked Mole Rat and the Conservative Worldview

Justin Bond

Maison d'édition: Defiance Press and Publishing

Synopsis

In "The Naked Mole-Rat and the Conservative Worldview," Justin Bond offers a compelling exploration of conservative philosophy through economics, game theory, and cultural analysis. This thought-provoking work defends the power of ordinary people when guided by the right norms, values, and culture.

Bond skillfully weaves together historical events, economic principles, and behavioral studies to illuminate the conservative perspective. Starting with the contrasting paths of the American, French, and English Revolutions, he demonstrates how bottom-up processes consistently outperform top-down systems. Through parables and real-world examples—from the free rider problem to imperfect competition—he reveals why markets, families, and cultural traditions create more stable and prosperous societies than government planning.

The book tackles challenging topics like evolutionary psychology, social status competitions, and the impacts of welfare policies. With clarity and intellectual honesty, Bond examines why many conservative solutions work despite their counterintuitive nature, exploring complex topics like the tragedy of the commons, the evolution of cooperation, and the importance of marriage and family structures.

Neither dogmatic nor partisan, this book provides an accessible yet sophisticated defense of conservative thought. It's essential reading for anyone interested in understanding why conservative principles emphasize bottom-up solutions and cultural continuity rather than centralized planning.

If you enjoyed "The Righteous Mind," "Basic Economics," and "The World Until Yesterday," you'll love "The Naked Mole-Rat and the Conservative Worldview."

Fortunate Sons - The 120 Chinese...

Matthew Miller, Liel Leibovitz

"With its surging storyline, extraordinary events, and depth of character, this gripping tale of 120 Chinese boys sent to America . . . reads more like a novel than an obscure slice of history." —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
 
 
 
In 1872, China—ravaged by poverty, population growth, and aggressive European armies—sent 120 boys to America to learn the secrets of Western innovation. They studied at New England's finest schools and were driven by a desire for progress and reform. When anti-Chinese fervor forced them back home, the young men had to overcome a suspicious imperial court and a country deeply resistant to change in technology and culture. Fortunate Sons tells a remarkable story, weaving together the dramas of personal lives with the fascinating tale of a nation's endeavor to become a world power.
