“Fascism” has become a term of general derision and rebuke. It is tossed casually in the direction of anything a critic happens to dislike.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Section Two, Rockwell examines capitalism as the enemy of, and antidote to fascism.

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.

This is an Exceptional Book

ByDr. Ellen K. Rudolphon July 17, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have known of the author, Lew Rockwell, for years. But I really did not know what an exceptional writer he was.

This book clearly delineates Fascism from Capitalism, which is highly instructive onto itself...but it does so much more. WOW! I loved this book!

The more I read the more addicted I became. This is a remarkably personal history of the movers and shakers behind the Austrian School of Economics, and later the Mises Institute. It literally brings to life those economists as well as the extreme difficulties they faced in getting their ideas across to a professional world of economists that devalued capitalism and free markets.

More than any book I have ever read, it inspired me to delve far more deeply into economics as a real-life expose how nation states work, or don't work.

If you read just one book this year on the subject of economics, it should be this one.

Excellent read for all Austrians

ByWarren D Everetton January 15, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is an outstanding summary of Austrian Economics and illustrates the postion of the United States as an economic model. Mr Rockwell has done a great service in reviewing the history of economics and revealing the problem of group think that pervades the academy and government. I have read the kindle version because I was on a ski trip, but you want to get the printed version so that you can share this work. Hopefully it is a gentle enough approach so that the reader will come to understand exactly what fascism is without the inflammatory historical baggage interferring with the analysis. It is an analytical framework that the main stream media would do well to incorporate into their commentary so that the voters will be better informed about our political discourse

Big fan of Lew, but...

ByAdam W. Birchon January 12, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I've been a daily visitor to [...] for several years. Needless to say I was excited to get this book. The material is great, and I highly recommend it as far as content. My only complaint is this: each chapter is simply a reprint of a speech and/or article that is already available at no charge on Lew's website. I realized this two chapters in, so I came back to Amazon.com to see if the description mentions that the book is a collection of speeches and/or previously written articles. As far as I can tell there was nothing to indicate this before I purchased the book except the "look inside" feature. I suppose I could have figured this out had I clicked on each chapter title in the table of contents.

Now I have no problem paying to have all these articles bound together. Considering the large print especially, this book is a great value at this price. Also, I'm more than happy to help support the Mises Institute and Lew personally, although at this price I doubt there is much margin above the cost of printing. So if you're a proponent of liberty, give to the cause by buying this book.

Great guide and comparison of economic structures.

Byjameson March 7, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is one of the more interesting books in the socio-political field that I have come across recently. The book effectively details how capitalism evolved to be the greatest engine of wealth production but now in some places is morphing into fascist 'statism' which threatens liberty as well as progress. This book is digestible by the average person but someone with a economics or political science background would find this to be an ideal source because it succeeds in making its points in a very succinct fashion which makes it a quick read. Respected economists are quoted in many places which will be perfect for the technical reader but may be a bit detailed for the person just seeking as casual comparison of the two economic structures. For the economics oriented person, this book is written from the Austrian point of view and reveres scholars like Hayek, Hazlitt and Mises. To my satisfaction, the book is critical of economist John Maynard Keynes and the horrendous price (literally and figuratively) that economies have paid for adhering to his philosophies. It even offers that Keynes volunteered to write the forward of the Nazi edition of his most famous work. This book is well worth the price.

Insightful

ByRayon February 4, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The only reason it's not 5 stars is that it felt a bit repetitive in the message of government is the source of distortion in markets, etc. His premise and reasoning is of course completely solid, I would have just liked to read more about examples of this than the repetition I feel was there. However, what he provided was very good and certainly persuasive. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the reasons behind poor economies and all of the tactics behind maintaining the ideology of government as God, protector, friend, etc..It was a bit of a shocker to me to see how very near the current system actually is to Fascism, instead of just a soft form of it, or a middle-of-the-road type of thing. It was certainly an eye-opener, even though I've read and studied quite a bit on topics like this.

Well worth the small investment of time and money...

ByClearpointon April 18, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The content consists of articles written and speeches given by Lew Rockwell, woven together in support of a point of view (that of individual freedom, i.e. capitalism) that differs far from the point of view supported by the mainstream (that of government planning and control, i.e. fascism). Those familiar with Mises, Rothbard and Austrian economics will love it. And those that aren't will have their eyes opened to what the modern world has become, perhaps for the first time. As always, Mr. Rockwell is very clear in his thoughts and the words he chooses to express them. This, and the purpose and passion with which he writes, makes him a pleasure to read. Read this book and you will understand why George Karlin used to say that "Germany may have lost the second world war, but fascism won it."

of people the elite liked and didn't like

ByMichael Naadenon December 20, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Instead of offering intellectual criticisms, this book put people's lives side by side. It offers a comparison/contrast, of people the elite liked and didn't like, it poses the question, who will history remember those who believed in principles and those we threw principle out the window for power. Also the lecture on the late Scholastics was very good at it shows a continuous line of thought from the past to the present.
