In Canada, Red Toryism is found in provincial and federal Conservative political parties.""Red Toryism derives largely from a classical conservative tradition that maintained that the unequal division of wealth and political privilege among social classes can be justified if members of the privileged class practiced noblesse oblige and contributed to the common good. Red Tories supported traditional institutions such as religion and the monarchy, and maintenance of the social order. This position was later manifest in their support for some aspects of the welfare state." (Wikipedia).. Very Good+ . USD 50.00 [Appr.: EURO 46 | £UK 39.5 | JP¥ 7786] Book number 18172is offered by:
