Towards a Conservative Left
Selected Writings of Jean‑Claude Michéa
Book •
Towards a Conservative Left collects key essays by Jean‑Claude Michéa, a French dissident socialist who argues that cultural liberalism and economic liberalism form a unified ideology undermining working‑class culture.
The volume emphasizes Michéa's attachment to Orwellian themes like 'common decency' and 'Tory anarchism' while outlining his critique of the modern Left's turn toward cultural rather than class politics.
Translator and editor Michael C. Behrent provides context and includes an original interview with Michéa exploring his background and ideas.
The book situates Michéa among thinkers like Christopher Lasch and Marcel Mauss and highlights his concerns about socialization, progress, and the erosion of communal solidarities in modern liberal societies.
