The Authoritarian Dynamic

Více o knize

Root causes of intolerance are explored through a universal theory linking psychological predispositions, specifically authoritarianism, with societal threats. The book identifies two main factors driving intolerance: individuals' innate tendencies and the impact of societal conditions, such as public dissent and distrust in leaders. Utilizing experimental methods, surveys, and interviews, it reveals how these elements shape political conflicts related to race, immigration, civil liberties, and morality, providing insight into when such conflicts intensify.
