Longue Durée of the Far-Right

<p>This volume brings together a number of international scholars to offer an original analysis of far-right movements and politics, challenging the existing literature through a very different methodological and theoretical perspective. The approach offered here is that of ‘<i>longue durée</i>’ analysis, whereby the far-right is understood as an evolving subject of capitalist modernity. The authors argue that an assessment of the contemporary characteristics of the far-right needs to consider the ways in which it is a product of deeper and longer-term structures of socio-economic and political development, than, for example, the inter-war crises of capitalism. The book aims to provide a critical and theoretically-informed assessment of the history of the far-right that centres on the international as key to any understanding its evolution, and which distinguishes between the fascist and non-fascist variants as an essential precondition for comprehending the far-right presence in contemporary politics</p> <p>1. <i>The Longue Durée of the Far-Right: An Introduction</i> – Richard Saull, Alexander Anievas, Neil Davidson and Adam Fabry, 2. <i>The Origins and Persistence of the Far-Right: Capital, Class and the Pathologies of Liberal Politics – </i>Richard Saull, 3. <i>Mass Hysteria or a Class Act?
