Produktinformationen zu „Totalitarianism, Terrorism and Supreme Values / Studies in Public Choice Bd.33 (PDF)“
Applying a rational choice perspective, this book presents a dynamic theory of the evolution of totalitarian regimes and terrorism. By demonstrating that totalitarian regimes rest on ideologies involving supreme values that are assumed to be absolutely true, the author identifies the factors that lead to totalitarian regimes, and those that transform or abolish those regimes with time. The author addresses different ideologies, such as National Socialism, Communism, and religious movements; examines numerous historical cases of totalitarian regimes; and develops a formal, mathematical model of totalitarianism in the book's closing chapter.

Pressezitat
“Bernholz describes supreme-value ideologies that have existed over the ages. He stays literally close to home in describing the supreme values of Adolf Hitler and German National Socialist ideology. … This book is necessary reading for researchers of defense strategy and the economics of defense, but above all for the politicians and administrators to whom we entrust our safety.” (Arye L. Hillman, Public Choice, July, 2018)“... besticht vor allem durch seinen ungeheuren Reichtum an Details der totalitären Kulturen (oder Unkulturen). Dem Leser wäre die Orientierung erleichtert, enthielte das Buch ein Namensverzeichnis, das mit wenig Zusatzaufwand hätte erstellt werden können. Alles in allem wird das Buch sehr zur Lektüre empfohlen.” (Charles B. Blankart, in: ORDO, Jg. 68, Heft 1, 24. April 2018)
