Democracy Needs Aristocracy by Peregrine Worsthorne
In one of the most explosive and hotly debated books of the past year, Sir Peregrine Worsthorne presents a reactionary and playful look at the origins, evolution and demise of the aristocracy and what we can expect to replace them.‘A remorseless tease of the new bien-pensant, egalitarian Establishment and a serious critique of how that Establishment might be improved’ John Adamson, Sunday Telegraph
‘Compelling and beautifully explained … interesting and important’ Andrew Marr, Daily Telegraph
‘Peregrine Worsthorne … has long been our most elegantly provocative journalist … lively and fascinating … if his book had been twice as realistic it would also have been only half as much fun’ Mail on Sunday
‘Elegant and often highly amusing … entertaining’ Sunday Telegraph
‘Sir Peregrine is a romantic … we should admire his intention and welcome an essay whose style is so reminiscent of the man’ Spectator
