by Kerry Bolton (Author)
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.
