In the United States, Donald Trump appears to have become the poster president for the surge. David M. Ricci, in this call to arms, thinks Trump is symptomatic of the changes that have caused a crisis among Americans - namely, mass economic and creative destruction: automation, outsourcing, deindustrialization, globalization, privatization, financialization, digitalization, and the rise of temporary jobs - all breeding resentment, which then breeds populism. Rather than dwelling on symptoms, Ricci focuses on the root of our nation's problems. Thus, creative destruction, aiming at perpetual economic growth, encouraged by neoliberalism, creates the economic inequality that fuels resentment and leads to increased populism, putting democracy at rick. Ricci urges political scientists to highlight this destruction meaningfully and substantively, to use empirical realism to put human beings back into politics. Ricci's sensible argument conveys a sense of political urgency, grappling with real-world problems and working to transform abstract speculations into tangible, useful tools. The result is a passionate book, important not only to political scientists, but to anyone who cares about public life. 650 0 $a Populism $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Economics $x Political aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108804172 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103020945.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DC6666CBC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
