Description
Populism is a powerful force in twenty-first-century politics, but it has proved remarkably resistant to the analytical tools of mainstream political science. This book provides a valuable alternative perspective, revisiting the work done by the Frankfurt School in the 1940s and comparing it with contemporary orthodox and unorthodox approaches. It reconstructs the Institute for Social Research's analysis of 'modern demagogy' in the USA within its Studies in Prejudice project of the 1940s, including its dialogue with Weber's work on charismatic leadership and the work of Freud. Modern demagogy emerges as a key feature of contemporary populism, with populist movements, whether 'left' or 'right', being highly susceptible to 'demagogic capture'. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in critical theory, sociology, politics, German studies and history of ideas, as well as to the great number of people concerned about the rise of demagogic populism today.
