Reading Hannah Arendt with Roger Berkowitz
The Political Emancipation of the Bourgeoisie
This chapter explores how the bourgeoisie became involved in politics to expand their markets and protect their investments abroad, leading to the rise of imperialism and the decline of the nation state. It discusses the failed resistance of nationalist institutions and the impact of the bourgeoisie's support for Hitler's movement. Hannah Arendt also examines the question of being tyrannical abroad but democratic at home.
