Who should inherit power?
Richard Walther Darré begins by asking what makes a nobility—and why Germany’s existing aristocracy, in his view, had failed. He proposes replacing status based on titles and wealth with a hereditary leadership drawn from farming families. The book develops that proposal through the racial and eugenic assumptions of his “Blood and Soil” ideology.
Inside the book
- Darré’s account of the history and development of the German nobility.
- Agriculture, hereditary farm estates known as Hegehöfe, and the proposed structure of a new ruling class.
- Breeding duties, marriage laws and the education of the young nobility.
