Critical Engagements with Alberto Toscano’s <i>Late Fascism</i>

This article outlines the main claims in Toscano’s book and stresses points of agreement. The article also highlights limitations in Toscano’s “metacommentary” on fascism. In particular, by concentrating on the excavation of insights from earlier literatures, the book shifts focus away from the contingent aspects of fascism and the foundations of the emerging neoliberal fascism, which is grounded on the limitations and contradictions of neoliberalism. Despite friendly criticisms, this article agrees with Toscano’s main conclusions. <br/><br/>
