Peron and Peronism

Per�n and Per�nism, is unique, especially among English language books, insofar as it is not so much a biography of the remarkable Argentine president, but an explanation of Per�nism in theory and practice. While the lives of Juan, and especially Eva, Per�n are relatively easy to access, seldom is it that a biography of the Per�ns, or even a scholarly history of Argentina, details the doctrine of Justicialism. In Per�n and Per�nism, Bolton draws on primary documents and speeches to define the Per�nist doctrine that has moved the hearts and minds of the majority of Argentines for generations. Per�n is shown to have been not only a great leader, who built the foundations of modern Argentina, but a philosopher who drew upon various philosophical schools, from Classical Greece onwards in synthesising a 'third position' that transcends capitalism and communism, Right and Left, and exposes 'demoliberalism' as a fraud. Here we also see a man of vision, an exponent of geopolitical blocs to counter globalist hegemony, whose ideals remain profoundly relevant in the age of globalisation.
