More about the book

Focusing on the resilience of the Prussian nobility, this work explores the Junkers' ability to adapt from the late 18th century to the 1848 revolution. It details their responses to the emancipation of serfs and the agrarian depression of the 1820s through the evolution of capitalist agriculture. Additionally, the author examines how the Junkers crafted a conservative ideology to rationalize their dominance in a society shifting towards bourgeois values, providing a nuanced understanding of their enduring political power and social influence.
