What Is Populism? by Jan-Werner Müller
This insightful analysis delves into the complex and often misunderstood phenomenon of populism, exploring its defining characteristics and the implications it holds for democratic societies. The book argues that populism is not merely a style or rhetoric but a distinct political logic that pits a morally pure and unified "people" against a corrupt elite. It examines how populists claim to represent the true will of the people, often undermining democratic institutions and norms in the process. Through a series of case studies and theoretical reflections, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how populism operates across different political landscapes and the challenges it poses to liberal democracy.
