"Recent elections in the advanced western democracies have undermined the basic foundations
of political systems that had previously beaten back all challenges-from both the
left and the right. The election of Donald Trump to the US presidency, only months
after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, signaled a dramatic shift
in the politics of the rich democracies. This book traces the evolution of this shift
and argues that it is a long-term result of abandoning the post-war model of egalitarian
capitalism in the 1970s. That shift entailed weakening the democratic process in favor
of an opaque, technocratic form of governance that allows voters little opportunity
to influence policy. With the financial crisis of the late 2000s these arrangements
became unsustainable, as incumbent politicians were unable to provide solutions to
economic hardship. Electorates demanded change, and it had to come from outside the
system. Using a comparative approach, the text explains why different kinds of anti-system
politics emerge in different countries and how political and economic factors impact
the degree of electoral instability that emerges. Finally, it discusses the implications
of these changes, arguing that the only way for mainstream political forces to survive
is for them to embrace a more activist role for government in protecting societies
from economic turbulence"
