New from Lew Rockwell : Fascism versus Capitalism “Fascism” has become a term of general derision and rebuke. The intentional abuse of this important word undermines its true value as it is tossed casually in the direction of anything a critic happens to dislike. The state, for the fascist, is the ideal organization for realizing a society’s and an individual’s potential economically, socially, and even spiritually. 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 American political and economic institutions in recent decades. He also 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.
