Reclaiming Populism NEW How Economic Fairness Can Win Back Disenchanted Voters ERIC PROTZER and PAUL SUMMERVILLE ; University of Victoria

The rise of populism is usually attributed by commentators to income inequality or culture wars, but this is wrong. In this forensic book—a must- read for policy-makers, scholars, and citizens alike—Eric Protzer and Paul Summerville argue that populism is actually a response to a profound sense that many of the world’s leading economies are unfair. They show that in meritocratic countries, such as Australia, Canada, Portugal, and Japan, populism has not taken root. In contrast, the countries that have been hit by the worst populist upheavals - like the US, UK, France, and Italy – have low social mobility. The way to address populism is to restore the connection between contribution and reward and craft a politics that reclaims the reasonable grievances that drive populism, while discarding its false diagnoses and toxic “solutions.” 216 x 138mm • 180 pages • UK November 2021, US January 2022 HB • 978-1-5095-4811-8 • £45.00 / $59.95 / €55.90 PB • 978-1-5095-4812-5 • £14.99 / $19.95 / €18.90 ebook available

Fiction overturns the ordinary course of successive events, showing how the unexpected arises, happiness transforms into unhappiness and ignorance into knowledge. In the modern age, argues Rancière, fictional rationality reached new fields as the social sciences extended the model of causal linkage. Literature did the opposite. Instead of democratizing fictional rationality to include all human activity in the world of rational knowledge, it aligned itself with the rhythms of everyday life. In the fictions of literature as well those of social science, the central question is the same: how to construct the perceptible forms of a shared world. From Stendhal to Marx, Sebald, Faulkner and many others, this book explores this, illuminating the movement of modern fiction from its traditional core toward those edges in which it gets confronted with its possible revocation. 216 x 138mm • 192 pages • 2019 HB • 978-1-5095-3044-1 • £50.00 / $64.95 / €61.90 PB • 978-1-5095-3045-8 • £15.99 / $19.95 / €19.90 ebook available
