ABSTRACT:
Trump's ascendancy is an opportune moment to revisit The Authoritarian Personality, a book published just five years after the Second World War came to its fiery end. The book allows us to better understand the authoritarian conservative personality of Trump, as well as the pyschic and politico-economic factors behind its expanded popular appeal.
