NOSTALGIA: Bowood House reinvents from 'big' house to 'little' house to survive

Curator, Dr Cathryn Spence, has pulled together an exhibition to mark the occasion. Bowood Revisited: Decline & Revival was intended to run in 2020, but is now scheduled to open to the public on May 17. Against the backdrop of how the post-war era brought various economic and social challenges to the doors of stately homes across the land, the exhibition relates how Bowood has faced these and more modern dilemmas to survive. Bowood House itself is an apt setting for what will now be the 66th – rather than 65th anniversary - of the 1955 demolition of ‘The Big House’. Bowood was one of 250 country houses of architectural importance demolished in the two decades following the end of World War II, the majority of which faced the bulldozers in the 1950s.

Counter-gang von Hayek Revives Mandeville's Hellfire Club in the 20th Century -- Puppet Masters -- Sott.net

© The Strategic Culture Foundation Friedrich von Hayek, Adam Smith, Lion of Britain In Book 8 of The Republic, Plato s protagonist Socrates observes astutely that the ruin of oligarchy is the ruin of democracy. The same disease magnified and intensified by liberty overmasters democracy- the truth being that the excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction and this is the case not only in the seasons and in vegetable and animal life, but above all in forms of government . Plato continues saying: the excess of liberty, whether in states or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery and so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty.
