This lucid guide is essential reading for anyone who wants to
understand leaders such as Trump and Chávez
*Guardian*
An excellent short book
*New York Review of Books*
In this essential book, Müller defines populism's most salient
characteristics --antielitism, antipluralism, exclusivity -- and
explains Trump and other populists through that framework. It is a
quick read, and worth every page
*Washington Post*
Populism is not just antiliberal, it is antidemocratic -- the
permanent shadow of representative politics. That's Jan-Werner
Müller's argument in this brilliant book. There is no better guide
to the populist passions of the present
*Ivan Krastev, author of After Europe*
No one has written more insightfully and knowledgeably about
Europe's recent democratic decay than Jan-Werner Müller. His
depiction of populism as democracy's antipluralist, moralistic
shadow is masterful
*Dani Rodrik, Harvard University*
An exceptionally intelligent book about a notoriously slippery, yet
essential, political concept. Jan-Werner Müller's sweeping critique
of populism will both instruct and challenge anyone who seeks to
understand the roots and nature of the political conflicts that are
roiling Europe and the United States
*Michael Kazin, author of The Populist Persuasion: An American
History*
