Populism is a powerful force today, but its full scope has eluded
the analytical tools of both orthodox and heterodox 'populism
studies'. This book provides a valuable alternative perspective. It
reconstructs in detail for the first time the sociological analyses
of US demagogues by members of the Frankfurt School and compares
these with contemporary approaches. Modern demagogy emerges as a
key under-researched feature of populism, since populist movements,
whether 'left' or 'right', are highly susceptible to 'demagogic
capture'. The book also details the culture industry's populist
contradictions - including its role as an incubator of modern
demagogues - from the 1930s through to today's social media and
'Trumpian psychotechnics'. Featuring a previously unpublished text
by Adorno on modern demagogy as an appendix, it will be of interest
to researchers and students in critical theory, sociology,
politics, German studies, philosophy and history of ideas, as well
as all those concerned about the rise of demagogic populism today.
