Les origines du populisme - Yann Algan, Elizabeth Beasley, Daniel Cohen & Martial Foucault
- In French. First published in 2019 (e-book).
Populism is the product of two telluric tremors. First earthquake: the rise of immense resentment against political parties and institutions. Faced with the failure of the right and the left to contain the excesses of capitalism, the ("anti-system") radicalism broke the compromises that both sides had managed to build. Second earthquake: the end of class society, for the benefit of a society of individuals thinking of their social position in subjective terms.
-> "A very enriching book, which sheds a factual light on social phenomena, analyzed and made explicit by the authors. A book to read for all those interested in France in the 2020s ...."
