It reconstructs in detail for the first time the comparisons with contemporary approaches. Modern demagogy emerges as a key under-researched feature of populism, since populist movements, whether 'left' or 'right,' are highly susceptible to 'demagogic capture'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also details the culture industry's populist contradictions—including its role as an incubator of modern demagogues—from the 1920s through to today's social media and 'Trumpian psychotechnics'. Featuring a previously unpublished text by Adorno on modern demagogy as an appendix, it will be of interest to everyone concerned about the rise of demagogic populism today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596069781740,"sku":"9781526163738","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/70a90d829a53c4bd34a0fd005c972db6.jpg?v=1777931510","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/critical-theory-and-demagogic-populism-by-paul-k-jones-9781526163738","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
