What do history's most notorious despots have in common with many of the flag-waving, patriotic politicians of our day? Both groups rise to power through the exploitation of fear. Sometimes the fear derives from a pre-existing threat. At other times, crises are created or intensified to invoke a sense of panic and anxiety where none previously existed.

This pattern is as predictable as it is destructive. The end result is the same: a loss of liberty. Policies that are costly, oppressive, and harmful are supported by people who abandon any interest in freedom or personal responsibility in hopes of feeling safe.

Manufactured fear, with its negative impact on liberty, is a societal plague. There have been widespread casualties. We need an antidote. Feardom offers its readers a much-needed immunization.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Liberty and safety are ideals that can be attained together, but too often Americans sacrifice the former in pursuit of the latter. Feardom explains how this happens, and offers important solutions for how the trend can be reversed." --Anthony Romero, Executive Director, ACLU

"Totalitarians gain power by promoting fear and hate among the masses. In the 20th century, the communists gained power by promoting fear and hatred of the czars and capitalists. Adolf Hitler gained power by promoting fear and hatred of Jews and Bolsheviks. While America has not yet reached such heights of totalitarianism, Feardom does a yeoman's job of giving us advanced warning signs." --Walter E. Williams, John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics

"Tools I created for the government to protect the American people were turned, by that very government, into a weapon against us. Sadly, this is nothing new; as Connor Boyack explains in this timely and compelling book, power-hungry politicians and conniving bureaucrats take advantage of whatever opportunity they can to further their agenda. You can help throw a wrench into their machine. Read Feardom!" --Bill Binney, former NSA technical director turned whistleblower

"Feardom explains clearly and succinctly how Americans have lost their freedom and what they need to do to win it back. Everyone should read this book." --Jacob Hornberger, president, The Future of Freedom Foundation

"Good journalism should be skeptical of government actions and should inform and empower individuals. Most media institutions fall short of this ideal and instead routinely paralyze their viewers with fear. As Connor Boyack explains in this compelling book, the consequences of this are drastic and detrimental--but they are not irreversible. Feardom offers solutions to this problem that are sorely needed and very timely. A must read!" --Ben Swann, award-winning investigative journalist

Great book, great examples, not many solutions offered

ByJamison D.on July 27, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This was a really good read. It was short and to the point and got me thinking about a lot of things. I am more conservative than I am liberal so it was probably good for me to read about examples of conservatives using the same fear tactics that liberals use. My only beef with the book is that it does not present many concrete ideas of what to do to correct the problems that we have with these fear tactics being used in our government. I know that there aren't easy solutions and there may not really be any viable solutions, but I still was wishing there were more ideas about what to do to combat it. I finished the book with a feeling of "Yes, so now what?" I agreed with many of the points made in the book, which made me want to do something about it, but mostly it left me feeling depressed and thinking that things will never change. Anyway, a great, eye-opening book that will help you see through all the fear tactics used by politicians.
