Donald Trump returned to the White House. Marine Le Pen surged in France. Reform UK became Britain’s most successful far-right party in modern history. Across the West, authoritarian populists now govern a quarter of the world’s democracies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut is this peak populism – or the populists’ tipping point?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the counting halls of inner-city Birmingham to the trading floors of Wall Street, from the Heritage Foundation war room to the algorithmic outrage machines of social media, Liam Byrne exposes the forces propelling the populist surge – and reveals how to stop it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on original polling of thousands of voters, interviews with leading thinkers, and on-the-ground reporting across Britain, Europe and America, Byrne decodes the populist playbook.
