Reddit reviews Who is Charlie?: Xenophobia and the New Middle Class

Thank you very much for this recommandation. I've also read another thesis which in a way generalizes Fromm's. People want to restore their faith, not necessarily because of the erosion of the economy (although especially for americans, the cult of money does exist), but precisely because they abruptly lost their previous faith. It is explained, among many (very) controversial things in Who is Charlie? by french historian Emmanuel Todd. In fact, he claims that nazism in Germany and more generally the german Reichs are partly caused by the fall of the Protestant cult in the late 19th century. People lost their faith, gained freedom, didn't know what to do with it.
