Thank you. I've always been impressed with the wisdom of Burke. Glad to see it is shared.
Unfortunately, our educational institution’s stopped teaching Burke during the ‘progressive era,’ 100+ years ago. That being said—
Yes, and more's the pity.
Something you might not know is this: Adam Smith, who wrote "Wealth of Nations" (considered the father of Fiscal conservatism) and Edmund Burke (considered the father of Social conservatism) were not only contemporaries, they were good close personal friends, and their ideas are complimentary precisely because they were evolved together in their discussions with each other.
Both Burke and Smith were strongly influenced by each other in developing what became known as their signature works.
