It is tossed casually in the direction of anything a critic happens to dislike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But fascism is a real political and economic concept, not a stick with which to beat opponents arbitrarily. The abuse of this important word undermines its true value as a term referring to a very real phenomenon, and one whose spirit lives on even now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Fascism is a specific ideology based on the idea that the state is the ideal organization for realizing a society's and an individual's potential economically, socially, and even spiritually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The state, for the fascist, is the instrument by which the people's common destiny is realized, and in which the potential for greatness is to be found. Individual rights, and the individual himself, are strictly subordinate to the state's great and glorious goals for the nation. In foreign affairs, the fascist attitude is reflected in a belligerent chauvinism, a contempt for other peoples, and a society-wide reverence for soldiers and the martial virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Lew Rockwell, in this new volume, examines the starkly contrasting systems of capitalism and fascism, noting pro-fascist trends in recent decades as well as the larger historical trends in the United States and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In Section One, Rockwell focuses on the nature of fascism and its influence in Western society, with a focus on American political and economic institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In Section Two, Rockwell examines capitalism as the enemy of, and antidote to fascism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Combining economics, history, and political philosophy, this book doesn't just provide a diagnosis of what ails American and Western society, but also sheds light on how we might repair the damage that has been done, and with the help of the intellectual work of great minds like Murray Rothbard and Ron Paul, we might as a society shed the fascism of our times and look to freedom instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 186\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 08, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42740816478271,"sku":"9781535185332","price":12.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ed3fb9f95218f36085ad388bda738d81.webp?v=1765160527","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/fascism-vs-capitalism-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
