"Mirrors for princes, books of advice aimed at those who rule, have fallen out of style in our modern, supposedly democratic age. Books of advice for commoners, however, are ubiquitous, though most of them are stupid, because wisdom comes from experience, not rumination, and most authors offer only the latter. Eduard Habsburg, scion of the most famous family in European history, here rescues both genres, offering advice based on his family’s long history which is useful for both rulers and the average person. And his pithy recommendations also stir thought on matters more generally related to modern aristocrats, including the despicable modern trend toward eschewing intergenerational family wealth and power." . . .
