Red Scare — Fear, Surveillance, and Civil Liberties (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Red Scare by Clay Risen as a systems-level analysis of how fear-driven politics transformed American democracy.
By tracing the spread of blacklists, congressional investigations, and loyalty tests, the book explains how repression became normalized through institutions rather than imposed by force alone.
