"The Persistence of the Old Regime" challenges conventional understandings of European history leading up to World War I. It argues that the old order, characterized by aristocratic power and traditional social structures, persisted much longer and with greater influence than typically acknowledged. This study reconsiders the economic, political, and cultural landscape of Europe, highlighting the endurance of landed elites, the deferral of bourgeois dominance, and the impact of social Darwinism. By examining the upper classes and their role in shaping society, this book presents a provocative new perspective on the causes of the Great War and the dynamics of European society. A masterful reinterpretation of a pivotal era.
