Description
Jan-Werner Müller's thought-provoking book explores the concept of populism, a phenomenon that has gained significant attention in recent years. From Donald Trump to Recep Erdogan, populists are on the rise across the globe, but what exactly is populism?
Populists often claim to represent the people and their true interests, but this claim can be misleading. Müller argues that populism is rooted in a rejection of pluralism, where those in power claim exclusive moral representation of the people. This can lead to the creation of an authoritarian state that excludes those not considered part of the "proper" group.
Müller proposes concrete strategies for liberal democrats to counter populist claims and address the challenges posed by these movements. With a new afterword, this book provides a timely and insightful analysis of populism and its implications for democracy.
