A review by nprtotebag
Five Moral Pieces by Umberto Eco, Alastair McEwen

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Not as hard to understand as I assumed it would be, going into this. Ur-fascism is an iconic essay that all who are in favor of democracy should read. Eco really hit the nail on the head with “internet populism”, 20 years early (“the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the ‘voice of the people’”). I really enjoyed the essay Migration, Tolerance, and the Intolerable as well.
