Klappentext
Who are "the people," and how have they shaped the rise and fall of governments? This exhilarating journey from the ancient Athenian assemblies to today's algorithm-driven mobs unpacks how rulers, revolutionaries, and demagogues have harnessed the power of the crowd for democracy and destruction.
Since the dawn of politics, leaders have claimed to speak for "the people"-some leading revolutions in their name, others crushing them under the same banner. Through gripping case studies-Cleon's Athens, the Gracchi brothers' Rome, Luther's Reformation, Bolívar, Perón, Trump, Bolsonaro, and Modi-this volume reveals striking patterns to this elusive concept across centuries. Informed by the author's firsthand experience of national security governance in Mexico, The People's core intervention is a sharp analytical separation between "populism" and "the popular," reframing populism as a cultural and emotional phenomenon rather than solely a political strategy.
Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students, scholars, and informed general readers interested in history, political science, and sociology, The People offers both a fresh perspective on the past and a warning for the future.
