Summary, etc. The major conflict of our age is the struggle between aggressive totali-<br/>tarianism and the free way of life. Not long ago the chief threat to<br/>liberty was fascism; today it is communism. The violence and terror<br/>of totalitarian communism and fascism, ranging from slave labor<br/>camps to genocide, reflect a fanatical ideology that brooks no com-<br/>promise.<br/>This book is a discussion of the main representatives of each side<br/>-communism and fascism on the totalitarian side, capitalism and so-<br/>cialism on the democratic. In a short book, it has seemed advisable to<br/>concentrate on the isms that shape the fate of the world rather than<br/>to discuss in detail the numerous other isms that are important, but<br/>that have not been decisive, in the struggle for men's minds. These<br/>lesser isms, whether philosophical, political, social, or economic, are<br/>therefore dealt with in this book only to the extent that they are re-<br/>lated to the four major isms. The psychological roots of totalitarianism<br/>and democracy are given particularly close attention, since it is diffi-<br/>cult to understand either system without understanding both the per-<br/>sonality traits and psychological motivations to which each system<br/>appeals.<br/>The key approach in this book is through the way of life concept<br/>rather than through one particular aspect, such as government or eco-<br/>nomics. Totalitarianism and democracy are more than specific social,<br/>political, or economic systems: they are two diametrically opposed<br/>ways of life, with contradicting beliefs and values, based on distinct<br/>and opposite conceptions of the nature of man. The scope and gravity<br/>of the present world crisis can therefore be fully grasped only by per-<br/>ceiving it, not as the mere result of conflicting political or economic<br/>ideas and practices, but as a conflict between two ways of thought and<br/>action encompassing the totality of social life.
