Modern capitalism, incorporating creative destruction, creates economic losers and winners. This produces the anger and resentment that generates populist politics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Recenzje

'This is a book addressed, like Ricci's earlier books, to his professional colleagues, to the political scientists of the world's universities - especially America's. But his message is actually wider. Every engaged citizen, every political activist living in our times, which are bad times, needs to read this book. It describes where we are and tells us what has to be done. (And the rif on driverless cars is wonderful.)' Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study, New Jersey
