author is History Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada; book assesses the rival claims of the main theories of fascism under two headings - 'heteronomic' and 'autonomic', the former asserting that fascism is directly produced and determined by capitalism, and the latter arguing that fascism is an independent force; in the final chapter, he shows how neither theory alone is satisfactory, and that both must play a part in producing a helpful and conclusive theory

Fascism Past, Present, Future book by Walter Laqueur  "Fascism: Past, Present, Future" [1996] by historian Walter Laqueur
This lucid, extremely useful survey covers the resurgence of fascist parties in Austria, Britain, France, Italy, and Russia, and warns of 'clerical fascism' that combines radical, militant Islamic fundament-alism with dictatorial government, widespread use of terror, and anti-Western propaganda, as in Iran and Algeria; book also astutely analyzes postwar neofascist groups, which he describes as marked by irrational fear of immigrants, anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial and, often, belief in a world conspiracy against a master race.
