More about the book

The book explores the evolution of German political culture since the late nineteenth century, highlighting a shift towards a merit-based elite that governs authoritatively rather than democratically. Walter Struve argues that this elitism, which played a significant role in Nazi Germany, has resurfaced in contemporary Western political thought. The contrast between bourgeois political ideologies in Germany and the West is examined, revealing the enduring impact of these authoritarian tendencies on modern governance.
