Description

The Extreme Centre: A Second Warning by Tariq Ali Since 1989, politics has been shaped by a contest to serve market needs. In this updated edition, Tariq Ali investigates the people and events that have driven this development worldwide. The investigation reaches its logical conclusion with the presidency of Donald Trump, En Marche!'s success in France, and Merkel's dominance in Europe. Ali considers recent events suggesting hope despite challenges. He finds promise in Latin America and at the edges of Europe, particularly in emerging parties formed out of the 2008 crisis. In Scotland, Greece, and Spain, these parties offer new promise for democracy. Even in the UK, Jeremy Corbyn's rise indicates that the centre's hegemony may be weaker than imagined. This fully updated edition provides a wideranging case for the prosecution, examining the people and events that have informed this development across the world.
