Fascism: A Very Short Introduction Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

What’s fascism? Could it be revolutionary? Or could it be reactionary? Could it be both?

Fascism is notoriously hard to define. How do we seem sensible of an ideology that attracts streetfighters and intellectuals as well? That’s overtly macho however you like, yet attracts a lot of women? That demands a go back to custom while keeping a desire for technology? And that preaches assault in the name of an purchased society?

In the brand new edition of this Very Brief Introduction, Kevin Passmore brilliantly unravels the paradoxes of 1 of the most important phenomena in the modern world-tracing its origins in the intellectual, political, and social crises from the later nineteenth century, the rise of fascism following World War I, including fascist regimes in Italy and Germany, as well as the fortunes of ‘failed’ fascist movements in Eastern European countries, Spain, as well as the Americas. He also considers fascism in tradition, the

new fascination with transnational research, as well as the progress of the far right since 2002.
