This anthology, with an Introduction written after the 2020 election, is an indispensable guide to understanding the deeply rooted disenchantment that gave rise to the far-right, the radical left, and the populism on both sides, and changed the politics of our time.
What The Reviewers Say
Barton Swaim,
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Judis begins with what should be, but among many allegedly smart commentators isn’t, the obvious point that some nationalisms are healthy and some are pathological. 'Abraham Lincoln and Benito Mussolini were ardent nationalists' is his terse summation.
Kirkus
A sobering assessment of recent history as a string of poorly managed catastrophes.
Publishers Weekly
Talking Points Memo editor Judis compiles and updates his three most recent books in this lucid examination of political movements that have emerged in the U.S. and Europe over the past few decades in response to the failures of neoliberalism.
