Apprentice's Sorcerer, The: Liberal Tradition And Fascism
Far from being diametrically opposed, this provocative book convincingly argues that Fascism is indelibly linked to the liberal tradition.
20th century European Fascism is conventionally described as a fierce assault on liberal politics, culture, and economics. Departing from this analysis, The Apprentice's Sorcerer highlights the long overlooked critical affinities between the liberal tradition and fascism.
Far from being the antithesis of liberalism, fascism both in ideology and practice was substantially, if dialectically, indebted to liberalism; particularly its economic variant.
