In But Populism Could Kill It, award-winning journalist David Frum presents a chilling analysis of the populist threat to democracy.
Drawing on examples from around the world, Frum shows how populism's toxic brew of nationalism, xenophobia, and anti-intellectualism is corroding the foundations of our societies. From Donald Trump's rise to power in the United States to the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom, Frum argues that populism is a global phenomenon that poses a serious threat to our democratic values.
But Frum also offers a path forward, arguing that we can defeat populism by strengthening our democratic institutions and promoting a more inclusive and tolerant public discourse. He calls on citizens to get involved in their communities, support independent journalism, and reject the siren song of demagogues.
But Populism Could Kill It is a timely and essential book for anyone who cares about the future of democracy.
