Book review : The people vs. democracy: why our freedom is in danger and how to save it / by Yascha Mounk

Haynes, Jeffrey (2019) Book review : The people vs. democracy: why our freedom is in danger and how to save it / by Yascha Mounk. Democratization, 26 (1). pp. 161-163. ISSN 1743-890X

Abstract

Mounk’s book is a wide-ranging survey encompassing Europe and the USA during the presidency of Donald J. Trump, who he identifies unequivocally as a right-wing populist. If there is one thing guaranteed to make liberal democrats sit up and take notice it is the idea that the United States, for many a venerable bastion of liberal democracy, is now part of a new and highly unexpected populist landscape.
