The essential guide to understanding what populism is, why it's flourishing and what we should do about it

Representative politics is in crisis. Trust in politicians is at an all-time low. Fewer people are voting or joining political parties, and our interest in parliamentary politics is declining fast. Even oppositional and radical parties that should be benefitting from public disenchantment with politics are suffering.

Every aspect of the anti-capitalist world is covered in this helpful guide, from WOMBLES to Zapatistas, NGOs to environmentalism, Paris 1968 to Seattle, and beyond. Picking up where Naomi Klein left off, this is not so much a manifesto as a roadmap, which captures the essence of the movement, and also articulates a range of possibilities for future alternatives to the corporate domination of our planet.

Presents a comprehensive introduction to perhaps the most key intellectual trend in contemporary critical theory. This book helps you explain and review many of the key figures behind the rethinking of the legacy of Marxism in theory and practice.
