Opis

Populism is a strategy - a low-cost route to power that can have detrimental consequences for democracy.

Recenzje

'This compelling book argues that populism is a particularly efficient political strategy, directly mobilizing popular support without heavy investments in organization or ideology. Drawing on historical analyses ranging from ancient Athens and Rome to revolutionary France to modern America, this is a rich and fascinating argument.' Anna Grzymala-Busse, Stanford University
