Miller innovatively blends social and political theory, newspaper articles and contemporary commentary on Trump and Trumpism to provide a unique perspective on how capitalism intersects with and enables fascistic forms of power. His analysis contributes fresh insights to the rise of Trump and the politics of everyday consumer culture today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Thirty years ago, Félix Guattari likened Trump to an algal bloom, crowding out other lifeforms across entire city districts.
