Populism can be a dirty word. Brexit and the election of Donald
Trump have certainly given it a bad name. But rather than
associating it with demagoguery and exclusion, might we better see
it as a backlash against free market globalisation? Might it be
harnessed as a positive force able to thrive in difficult times?
This timely and persuasive book exposes the failures of
globalisation: greedy banks, predatory privatisation, corporate tax
avoidance and a growing underclass of temporary overseas workers.
David McKnight argues that a progressive populism could address the
genuine economic grievances of everyday people, without
scapegoating immigrants or ethnic minorities. In fact, a
progressive form of populism may be the best way of defeating the
racist backlash of right-wing populism. It may also be the best way
to save the planet. In a world where the super-rich get richer, one
that is charged with hate-filled language as people look for
someone else to blame, the case for progressive populism must be
heard. This important book helps give it voice.
