In For the People: Left Populism in Spain and the US Jorge Tamames
offers a stimulating comparative study of Spain's Podemos and the
Bernie Sanders movement in the US. Left populism emerges as a
potential powerful antidote to rising inequality in both Europe and
America. Recent years have witnessed dramatic challenges to
established politics across Europe and America. Opposition to
business-as-usual has not been limited to the radical right: left
populist movements with transformative agendas offer a very
different - if equally radical - response to the status quo.
Focusing on left populist movements in the contrasting political
landscapes of Spain and the US, For the People brings together
insights from Karl Polanyi, Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe to
offer a bold new explanatory framework for today's left populism.
The book will be a key text for activists, students of politics,
and anyone interested in the current political landscape of Europe
and America. It grounds its insights in a careful excavation of
recent political history in the two countries, tracing the
emergence and advance of left parties and movements from the early
days of neoliberalism in the 1970s, through the political
landslides that followed the 2008 financial crisis and the post2011
protest cycle, up to the present day. In the age of Trump and
Brexit, For the People offers an indispensable mix of theoretical,
historical and practical insights for all those interested in and
inspired by the radical potentials of left populism.
