This Machine Kills Progressives
There's been a bunch of books about populism recently, including a new one The New Populism: Democracy Stares into the Abyss by Marco Revelli (currently on offer). So a few of us have been discussing getting a reading group going on the Revelli book.
However, considering that past reading group threads on U75 have tended to die off I suggest that we don't concentrate too much on the specifics of one book but rather use it as a jumping off point to get some discussion of populism, and books about populism, going.
So anybody who's interested in the subject but can't get access to the copy of the book, doesn't have time to read it at the moment please still post more discussion we get the better the thread.
As a starting point I'll give a bunch of titles on populism that U75 posters have suggested
- National Populism: The Revolt Against Liberal Democracy by Matthew Goodwin and Roger Eatwell
- Rise of the Right: English nationalism and the transformation of working class politics by Simon Winlow, Steve Hall and James Tredwell
- Realm of Lesser Evil by Jean-Claude Michea
- The People by Margaret Canovan
