Reclaiming Populism

Discover the compelling insights of "Reclaiming Populism" by Eric Protzer, published in 2021. This thought-provoking book delves into the populist movements that have shaped our world, including Trump, Brexit, and the Gilets Jaunes. Protzer argues that the root of citizens' anger lies not merely in income inequality or immigration, but in a profound sense of economic unfairness. He reveals how opportunities are often determined by family background rather than individual talent and effort.

Drawing on original research that has garnered attention from prestigious organizations like the UN and IMF, this 180-page book provides a forensic analysis of how illiberal populism thrives in environments where success is rigged. "Reclaiming Populism" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of modern economic history and the forces driving contemporary political movements.
