<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book advances new perspectives for critical thought by exploring the links between consumer culture and the post-truth politics of Trumpism, and how Trump embodies the frightening potential of capitalism to intersect with and enable fascistic forms of power.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This radical and experimental book advances a new approach to understanding spectacle, one that helps us better understand how consumer culture paved the way for the post-truth politics of Donald Trump. 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.
