Summary:"Analyzing the resistance to change that erupted violently in response to that last major economic upheaval, Hinds shows how Communism, Nazism, and fundamentalism owe their triumphs not to the prevalence of poverty or oppression but to the rigidity of societies threatened by profound social changes prompted by rapid technological progress. He argues that only a horizontal, flexible society can smoothly manage change in such a way that the pain of transformation - and therefore, the risk of giving birth to new varieties of destructive regimes - is minimized."--BOOK JACKET.
