Ernst Jünger (1895–1998) was a soldier, an adventurer, and one of the most prolific and celebrated European writers of the twentieth century. Jünger’s most famous works are his First World War memoir Storm of Steel (1920), his treatise on technology and modernity The Worker (1932), and his dystopian novel On the Marble Cliffs (1939).

Alain de Benoist has written an ideal introduction to Jünger’s long life and vast body of work. Benoist illuminates the central figures in Jünger’s works: the Soldier, the Worker, the Rebel, and the Anarch. Benoist devotes special attention to The Worker, as well as Jünger’s debts to Nietzsche and Spengler, his relationship to the German Conservative Revolutionary movement, and his dialogues with Heidegger, Drieu la Rochelle, and his brother Friedrich Georg Jünger.

Benoist’s volume is not just a scholarly survey of the history of ideas, for he also draws upon his friendship and correspondence with Jünger. This volume invites you to join their conversation.

    Against Liberalism: Society Is Not a Market

    In Against Liberalism: Society Is Not a Market, Alain de Benoist shows the inadequacy of liberalism’s philosophical premises: individualism, self-interest, progressivism, human rights, capitalism, market values, and “economic man.” He shows that liberalism in practice is incompatible with genuine diversity and with democratic, communitarian, and conservative values. He suggests that society can have a market without being a market. It turns out that the best society is one in which not everything is up for sale.
