This lecture explores how historians have understood the phenomenon of fascism and asks what use, if any, the resulting insights are in helping us understand the nature of the current political and economic crisis in Europe. It focuses on the connections and differences between fascism then and now, asks what function historical memory plays in shaping political trends and analyses the usefulness of the concept of a crisis of democracy in making sense of trends in the European Union.
