Book Reviews of Fascism
Book Review: A Fine Introduction to the Subject
Summary: 4 Stars
Alan Cassels work "Fascism" succeeds in offering a general view of the authoritarian ideology. The central thesis is that Fascism, stripped away from the its historical linkage with National Socialism, presents a system that meant different things to different societies that implemented it. For instance, while for Germany Fascism represented an attack on the industrial revolution and a desire to return the nation to its agrarian roots and pre-industrial conceptions of volk, other nations like Italy, Spain, and Portugal saw in Fascism the means to transform their largely rural and agricultural societies into industrial and economic competitors on the world stage.
Italian conceptions of economic Fascism were soon replaced throughout Europe by German National Socialism as the Sine qua non of the ideology. The vague corporative economic system devised by Italian Fascists gave way to the much more dynamic racial, anti-semetic, & militaristic ideology of the Nazis.
As a good introduction to the concept of Fascism, Cassels work is highly recommended.
