A leading conservative thinker argues that a nationalist order is the only realistic safeguard of liberty in the world today Nationalism is the issue of our age. From Donald Trumps America First politics to Brexit to the rise of the right in Europe, events have forced a crucial debate: Should we fight for international government? Or should the worlds nations keep their independence and self-determination? In The Virtue of Nationalism, Yoram Hazony contends that a world of sovereign nations is the only option for those who care about personal and collective freedom. He recounts how, beginning in the sixteenth century, English, Dutch, and American Protestants revived the Old Testaments love of national independence, and shows how their vision eventually brought freedom to peoples from Poland to India, Israel to Ethiopia. It is this tradition we must restore, he argues, if we want to limit conflict and hate--and allow human difference and innovation to flourish.About the Author:Yoram Hazony is president of the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem and director of the John Templeton Foundations project in Jewish Philosophical Theology. His books include The Jewish State: The Struggle for Israels Soul and The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture. He lives in Jerusalem.
