Book Synopsis The end of populism by : Marcel H. Van Herpen
Download or read book The end of populism written by Marcel H. Van Herpen. This book was released on 2021-03-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The populist wave which has submerged Europe and the United States in recent years seems unstoppable. But is it? The end of populism offers answers and proposes concrete solutions to confront the rise of “illiberal democracy.” Drawing on extensive original sources, this book refutes the populist claim that democracy is a “demand side” phenomenon, and demonstrates that it is rather a “supply side” phenomenon. Marcel H. Van Herpen argues that one can have "too much democracy” and shows how methods of direct democracy, such as popular initiatives, referendums, and open primaries, which pretend “to give the power back to the people,” have led to manipulation by populists and moneyed interests. Populist attacks on the judiciary, central banks, the media, and other independent agencies, instead of strengthening democracy, have rather undermined liberal democracy. The author formulates twenty original and bold proposals to bridge the gap between the people and the elites, fight corruption, improve political party funding, and initiate societal, educational, and macro-economic reforms to increase economic equality and alleviate the insecurity of the citizens. Elegantly written and clearly argued, this is an essential book for understanding the populist phenomenon.

Book Synopsis Economic Development and Global Crisis by : José Luís Cardoso
Download or read book Economic Development and Global Crisis written by José Luís Cardoso. This book was released on 2014-02-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection uses a history of economic thought perspective to explore the evolving role of Latin America within the context of globalization. In particular, it examines the region’s resilience in the face of the global financial crisis. Economic Development and Global Crisis explains that Latin America is a region with distinct characteristics and peculiarities which have been shaped from the colonial era up to the present day. The contributions suggest that several features which were perceived as economic backwardness have turned out to be advantageous, and this may explain why Latin America is withstanding the crisis much better than Europe, Japan and the USA. This book will be of interest to scholars working in the areas of economic development, economic history, the history of economic thought and Latin American studies.

Book Synopsis En defensa del populismo by : Carlos Fernández Liria
Download or read book En defensa del populismo written by Carlos Fernández Liria. This book was released on 2020-03-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El populismo, concepto ambivalente, proclive a todo tipo de distorsiones tanto por los discursos de la izquierda como de la derecha y frecuentemente embozado por el ruido mediático, ha venido a ocupar un lugar central en el vocabulario y debate político más actual. Y es que como una y otra vez nos recuerda Fernández Liria, las luchas por la hegemonía política, en las que se pone en juego la articulación de una unidad política y de una voluntad general, consisten en construir y disputar las palabras con las que se nombra y se piensa el mundo. El populismo es una de ellas. Asociado despectivamente a liderazgos carismáticos, adhesiones emocionales y retóricas identitarias, este libro se propone, sin rehuir todas estas cuestiones, pensar el populismo desde más atrás, desde los límites de la razón política en un mundo regido por una lógica de pertenencias y lleno de síntomas, pero sin dejar de reivindicar el vocabulario político y el orden institucional que nos legó la Ilustración.
