The roots of populism

More about the book

The book offers a thought-provoking philosophical exploration of populism, highlighting its dual role as both a threat to and a potential revitalizer of liberal democracy. Elliott contends that neoliberal governance has attempted to suppress working-class political legacies, but the resurgence of "the people" is now triggering a systemic crisis within liberal democratic structures. Through this lens, the novel examines the complexities and implications of populism in contemporary society.
