How to design an Adorno book? An interview with designer Neil Donnelly on his inspiration for the cover of The Authoritarian Personality.

Theodor Adorno remains one of the key sources for understanding the desire for Fascism, notably in his groundbreaking work The Authoritarian Personality. In this article Max L. Feldman reads Adorno's writings on Fascism, alongside Disney's 1991 film The Beauty and the Beast, to analyse the contemporary resurgence of the far-right and the enduring relevance of Adorno's work.

Since its original publication in 1950, The Authoritarian Personality retains its relevance, and it has assumed a renewed political urgency.
