Fascism: A Warning Audiobook (Free)

From one of the most admired international leaders, comes a timely, considered, and personal look at the history and current resurgence of fascism today as well as the virulent threat it poses to international freedom, success, and peace.

At the end of the 1980s, when the Cold War ended, many, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, believed that democracy had triumphed politically once and for all. Yet nearly thirty years later, the path of history no more seems certain. A about Fascism: A Caution repressive and harmful force has started to re-emerge on the global stage-sweeping across Europe, elements of Asia, and the United States-that to Albright, appears like fascism.

Based on her personal encounter growing up in Hungary less than Hitler as well as the Communist regime that followed World War II, aswell as knowledge gleaned from her distinguished diplomatic job and insights from colleagues around the world, Albright paints a clear picture of how fascism flourishes and clarifies why it really is once again taking hold worldwide, determining the factors contributing to its rise. Most importantly, she makes obvious what could happen if we fail to action against rising fascist makes today and in the near future, including the potential for financial catastrophe, a lasting spike in terrorist activity, increased sectarian violence, a rash of large-scale humanitarian emergencies, substantial human rights violations, a breakdown in multilateral cooperation, and nearly irreparable self-inflicted harm to America’s status and capacity to lead.

Albright offers crystal clear solutions, including adjusting to the ubiquity of social media marketing as well as the changing nature of the work environment, and understanding regular citizens’ universal desire to have resources of constancy and morality within their lives. She contends that we must stimulate economic growth and thin the gap between the wealthy and poor, urban and rural, women and men, and qualified and unskilled; function across edges to react to transnational issues; and ultimately notice that democracy’s exclusive virtue is definitely its ability-through cause and open up debate-to discover remedies because of its own shortcomings.
