Product Description
A maverick thinker who's drawn the applause of both the populist left and right offers a sophisticated indictment of globalization and the liberal elite.A maverick thinker who's drawn the applause of both the populist left and right offers a sophisticated indictment of globalization and the liberal elite.In The New Class War, Michael Lind exposes globalization for what it really is: a strategy used by the people who run our governments, businesses, and the media -- to undermine the working class. Trade and immigration really have damaged many low-wage employees. Globalization is not an inexorable force that everyone should embrace. Instead, since the end of the Cold War it has been a strategy that serves the selfish interests of those who have the advantages to make the most of it.
This is a book for anyone enraged by the smug selfishness of our elites and their attempts to put themselves on the moral high ground. It is also a compelling explanation for Brexit and Trump that doesn't just argue that large swathes of the population are stupid. Lastly, it is a compelling argument for what needs to change if populism is to be rebuffed and western democracy revived.
