* Description:
The Capitol Riots, the Great Replacement Theory, Trump’s call to ‘terminate’ the US Constitution. In 2025, fascism is back—and today, it has seduced liberal societies and people worldwide.

Infinite Discontent: Writings on the Allure of Fascism examines how fascism colonises the liberal mind. Using psychoanalysis, music history, and memoir, Cannon explores why David Bowie once believed ‘very strongly in fascism.’ Cannon also looks to his own life to confront what Michel Foucault called ‘the fascism in us all.’ Across the book’s five chapters, Cannon shows that fascism—to borrow from George W. Bush—is a ‘War on Terror.’ Liberal minds and societies, the book says, fall for fascism in times of crisis, terror and ‘breakdown.’ Fascism seduces us when we are consumed by infinite discontent.

Lively and accessible, Infinite Discontent is an urgent intervention into today’s political debates. Offering a psychosocial perspective on fascism, it shows how anxiety rewrites our societies and souls. But it is also a hopeful work. Ultimately it asks what we must change today to avoid the horrors of fascism tomorrow. It calls us to think about how we might live well in a world ravaged by anxiety.

Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. The website you provided doesn't show the book details. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).
