Inhaltsangabe

This updated edition explores the philosophical roots and historical antecedents contributing to the development of modern political ideologies. The authors focus on five major ideologies - communism, socialism, liberalism, conservatism and fascism - and examine the effects of each on concepts such as the state, authority, the economy, property, the individual and society. The book approaches the various ideologies with special attention paid to what the terms left, centre and right signify in contemporary politics. New features include recent developments in the former Soviet Union and China, an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of Marx's ideas and a new section on the rise of the New Right in Europe and Japan.
