In this episode Alan Hall explains how factionalism and authoritarianism always increase during the negative move of bear markets. As people become more fearful they look to leaders who will protect them and gladly accept greater limits to their freedoms. Alan’s in-depth socionomics study on authoritarianism shows a revealing correlation between bear markets and authoritarian tendencies. It turns out that fear itself is something to be very afraid of.
