Once Again—Death of the Liberal Class

Fascism Under the Cloak of Liberalism
By Norman Pollack I use “fascism” here not as a cliché, but as an historical-structural formation principally rooted in the mature stage of capitalism, in which business-government interpenetration (what the Japanese political scientist Masao Maryuma called the “close-embrace” system) has created hierarchical social classes of wide differences in […]
