<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The distinguished political analyst John Judis has brought out a book with Columbia Global Reports during each of the last three national political seasons: The Populist Explosion in 2016, The Nationalist Revival in 2018, and The Socialist Awakening in 2020. Together, these books chart the rise during the second decade of the twenty-first century of a new and unexpected political mood produced by widespread dissatisfaction with the results of the free-market policies that emerged in the late twentieth century, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This anthology, with an Introduction written after the 2020 election, is an indispensable guide to understanding the deeply rooted disenchantment that gave rise to the far-right, the radical left, and the populism on both sides, and changed the politics of our time"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A one-volume history of the most consequential political movements of our time--populism, nationalism, socialism--and how they are influencing the twenty-first century</b> <p/>The distinguished political analyst John Judis has brought out a book with Columbia Global Reports during each of the last three national political seasons: <i>The Populist Explosion</i> in 2016, <i>The Nationalist Revival</i> in 2018, and <i>The Socialist Awakening</i> in 2020. Together, these books chart the rise during the second decade of the twenty-first century of new and unexpected political movements in the United States and Europe that arose in the wake of the Great Recession, the conflict with al-Qaeda and ISIS, and encroaching climate change. <p/>Judis has revised and updated these three books, and written a new introductory essay that seeks to explain the tumultuous last decade--most notably, Donald Trump's presidency and the response to a global pandemic and recession. This volume is an indispensable guide to understanding the deeply rooted disenchantment that gave rise to populist parties and politicians on the right and left--and to the global changes that have transformed the politics of our time. <p/> <b>Essential reading. --E.J. Dionne Jr., <i>The Washington Post</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Named one of Next Big Idea Club's 7 Books That Will Make You Sound Like a Genius</b> <p/>Essential reading <b>--E.J. Dionne Jr., <i>The Washington Post</i></b> <p/>John B. Judis, an idiosyncratic liberal who has written a series of prescient books about populist political trends on the right and left, is out with <i>The Politics of Our Time</i>. The book combines updated and revised versions of Judis's three most recent titles, all written since 2016. This is a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand, well, the politics of our time. <b>--<i>Politico</i></b> <p/>Mr. Judis writes, as usual, with clarity and wit, and his knowledge of modern politics in Europe and North America is vast. <b>--<i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b> <p/>Judis compiles and updates his three most recent books in this lucid examination of political movements that have emerged in the U.S. and Europe over the past few decades in response to the failures of neoliberalism.... Judis's wide-ranging study draws informative connections between disparate world events. Readers will walk away with a firmer grasp on current affairs. <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/>A sobering assessment of recent history as a string of poorly managed catastrophes...skillfully argued. <b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br>
