How to Raise a State

By: Antonio de Oliveira Salazar

How to Raise a State by Antonio de Oliveira Salazar is a compelling treatise that presents a comprehensive and insightful guide to governance and nation-building, rooted in conservative principles. Through this book, Salazar, a revered statesman and the architect of Portugal's Estado Novo regime, lays out a blueprint for fostering a strong, orderly, and prosperous society. Salazar's work emphasizes the importance of tradition, stability, and individual responsibility. He champions the preservation of cultural heritage, arguing that a nation's identity and cohesion are forged through its historical roots. He asserts that societal progress should be cautious and incremental, avoiding rash disruptions that could lead to chaos. Instead, he advocates for measured reforms that maintain the core values that have defined a nation's character. Originally written to serve as a "calling card" for visitors to the Portuguese Pavilion at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition, it later became the seminal work defining Salazarism. The book has largely become forgotten in the Lusophone world and is virtually out-of-print. Now it is available for the first time in English from Aginter Press.
