The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find.

Matt MacManus interviews Jason Stanley, the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University, and the author of How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them.
In his book, Stanley focuses on the structures that unite fascists and analyzes the ten pillars of fascist politics—the language and beliefs that separate people into an “us” and a “them.”
