'This is a really bracing survey of the history of liberalism, and a reminder that capitalism can ally with authoritarian systems as easily as with democratic ones. A stark warning to safeguard democracy against its impostors.' -- Azeem Ibrahim, author of 'Authoritarian Century: Omens of a Post-Liberal Future' 'Nayar demonstrates independence of mind, historical awareness and freedom from academic jargon in this original, disturbing and accessible book explaining why capitalism is, once again, tending towards fascism worldwide.' -- Andrew Robinson, author of 'Einstein on the Run: How Britain Saved the World's Greatest Scientist'
