NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “No single book is as relevant to the present moment.”—Claudia Rankine, author of Citizen

“With unsettling insight and disturbing clarity, How Fascism Works is an essential guidebook to our current national dilemma of democracy vs. authoritarianism.”—Jelani Cobb, New Yorker staff writer

A Yale philosopher identifies the ten pillars of fascist politics, and charts their horrifying rise and deep history.

As a scholar of philosophy and propaganda and the child of refugees of WWII Europe, Jason Stanley has long understood that democratic societies, including the United States, can be vulnerable to fascism. In How Fascism Works, he identifies ten pillars of fascist politics—an appeal to the mythic past, propaganda, anti-intellectualism, unreality, hierarchy, victimhood, law and order, sexual anxiety, favoring “the heartland,” and a dismantling of public goods and unions—that amount to an urgent diagnosis of the tactics right-wing politicians use to break down democracies and a critical lens on the current moment.

Stanley knits together reflections on history, philosophy, sociology, and critical race theory with stories from contemporary Hungary, Poland, India, Myanmar, and the United States, among other nations, making clear the immense dangers of language and beliefs that separate people into an “us” and a “them.” By uncovering disturbing patterns that are as prevalent today as ever, Stanley reveals that the stuff of politics—rhetoric and myth—can become policy and reality all too quickly. Only by recognizing them, he argues, can we begin to resist their most harmful effects and return to democratic ideals. 20th Century Modern Political Science Politics & Government Social Sciences Suç Sosyal adalet Liberalizm Sosyalizm Kapitalizm Düşündürücü Savaşlar Arası Dönem Mülteci Savaş Emperyalizm American Politics

Another brilliantly written book that was difficult to read because of the state of the world right now. It is hard not to compare the points made in this book with the actions being taken currently by Trump and other Right leaning Western leaders. A very sad time. The predictions in the Epilogue were very well expressed and it’s incredibly sad that they already appear to be coming to fruition.

Easy and accessible about the core trends of fascism, with pointers to both history and contemporary politics. Great as an introductory overview of what fascism is, and why it appeals and grows among the population. A warning for us today.

Excellent summary of core features of fascism

Readily understood. Short. Relevant. The past century to the present is rich in examples and warning of the repeat of history, before the generation has passed.

A necessary but depressing resume of the failure of government.

I don't often write reviews but I felt the need to write one here to let potential buyers know that there are people who left bad reviews clearly without having read/listened to the book.

One says that the book claims only white people can be racist and fascist. In fact, the book does mention fascism in non-white nations, including Turkey and India. This information isn't hidden away, so anyone who had actually listened to/read the book wouldn't make this clearly false claim.

I didn't agree with everything in the book but I see no need to make up lies about it.
