Book Reviews of Ideas Have Consequences

Book Review: A mix up on difinitions
Summary: 3 Stars

Weaver's book, one of the foundations of the Conservative movement in the US, could have had a better title. After reading it, I thought a better title might be
Ideas have Implications, Actions have Consequences.

As to a foundation of Conservatism, it is easy to see, after reading this book, that Conservatism is rather shallow. As followers of Edmund Burke, they take the English, royalty and nobility position versus the French, Voltaire position of turning the government over to citizens.
