What is fascism and what is populism? What are their connections in
history and theory, and how should we address their significant
differences? What does it mean when pundits call Donald Trump a
fascist, or label as populist politicians who span left and right
such as Hugo Chavez, Juan Peron, Rodrigo Duterte, and Marine Le
Pen? Federico Finchelstein, one of the leading scholars of fascist
and populist ideologies, synthesizes their history in order to
answer these questions and offer a thoughtful perspective on how we
might apply the concepts today. While they belong to the same
history and are often conflated, fascism and populism actually
represent distinct political trajectories. Drawing on an expansive
record of transnational fascism and postwar populist movements,
Finchelstein gives us insightful new ways to think about the state
of democracy and political culture on a global scale. This new
edition includes an updated preface that brings the book up to
date, midway through the Trump presidency and the election of Jair
Bolsonaro in Brazil.
