Neste livro, Vladimir Safatle afirma a existência de um fascismo estrutural, que emerge com força em situações de crise. A novidade é examinar o fascismo contemporâneo a partir de uma crítica interna, afastando-se de argumentos de pensadores progressistas que atribuem sua emergência à irracionalidade ou a impulsos descontrolados para mostrar como há em vigor a aplicação consistente da lógica neoliberal da concorrência generalizada, que responde a um cálculo racional.
