  • Summary

  • Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar Richard Salsman, Ph.D., for our quarterly Morals & Markets webinar. This session, Dr. Salsman examines the nature of capitalism, socialism, and fascism and discusses how historical patterns offer insight into today's ideological trends and the potential risks for liberty.

    "Fascism ruled most during the 1920s and 1930s, the major examples being Mussolini in Italy, Franco in Spain, Hitler in Germany, the Tōhōkai party in Japan, and FDR in the U.S. Depending on the country and period, fascism also entails populism, militarism, xenophobia, and racism. The fact that the collapse of socialism in the 1990s wasn’t followed by a widely accepted moral case for capitalism left room for a revival and spread of fascism, roughly a century after it first ruled. Since Nazism is a contraction of nationalism and socialism, liberty-loving Americans should worry that nationalism is endorsed by many Republicans while socialism is endorsed by many Democrats. If these elements continue to grow and coalesce, evil will surely ensue."
