Non una storia del fascismo e del nazismo, bensì un bilancio puntuale dei tratti che li apparentarono, e delle singolarità rispettive. Grande attenzione è data anche al parallelo sul governo dell'economia, incluse l'agricoltura, l'autarchia e la mobilitazione economica; al rapporto dei due regimi con la cultura e la società, al rispettivo grado di consenso, infine al modo in cui nazismo e fascismo affrontarono la sfida della guerra. L'autore reca un utile contributo conoscitivo sui caratteri del totalitarismo di destra.

Why do we want to justify our decisions, even if they appear to be irrational? The answer lies in cognitive dissonance, the mental discomfort we experience when we hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time. In A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, first published in 1957, American social psychologist Leon Festinger investigates the problem. Festinger puts forward the idea that we have developed mechanisms to try to deal with the stress brought on by cognitive dissonance.

The love poems written at that time reflect the hopes and fears and turmoil driving me. I, also in those years, wrote legal articles that most properly have since been long forgotten and ignored.
