Charles Derber, Yale R Magrass

Moving Beyond Fear

Upending the Security Tales in Capitalism, Fascism, and Democracy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Security stories often point to real threats, but the narratives of leaders are as much about legitimating their power and the political and economic system that led to their rise. Derber and Magrass offer a penetrating analysis that reveals a great irony about these stories: they historically increase insecurity, imperilling citizens and nation.
