Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of National Populism: The Revolt Against Liberal Democracy, a Pelican Book, written by Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin and read by Matthew Goodwin.
A crucial new guide to one of the most urgent political phenomena of our time: the rise of national populism.
Across the West, there is a rising tide of people who feel excluded, alienated from mainstream politics and increasingly hostile towards minorities, immigrants and neoliberal economics. Many of these voters are turning to national populist movements, which have begun to change the face of Western liberal democracy, from the United States to France, Austria to the UK.
This radical turn, we are told, is a last howl of rage from an aging electorate on the verge of extinction. Their leaders are fascistic and their politics antidemocratic, their existence a sideshow to liberal democracy.
But this version of events, as Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin show, could not be further from the truth.
Written by two of the foremost experts on fascism and the rise of national populism, this lucid and deeply researched audiobook is a vital guide to our transformed political landscape. Challenging conventional wisdoms, Eatwell and Goodwin make a compelling case for serious, respectful engagement with the supporters and ideas of national populism - not least because it is a tide that won't be stemmed anytime soon.

Superb book
Incisive, well argued and much needed exposition of the underlying reasons for the revolt against liberal democratic governments. Worth reading, whoever you vote for.

Monotone
The topic is interesting and the books content is good but the reader is unengaging to the point that it's hard to remain focused on what is being read. I would like to say don't let this stop you listening but I really did find it dull, took a month to finish the book.

A timely dose of truth for the neo-liberal elites
An objective and honest appraisal of the current political turmoil engulfing the West. Whilst the narration is somewhat flat, the content is well crafted and speaks a number of uncomfortable truths which are largely dismissed by the current political establishment.

Fascinating and important.
Fascinating and important analysis of the rise of nationalist populism. Anyone wondering why so many people voted for Trump and Brexit, for example, and who is fund the usual clichés- racism, economics etc. - dissatisfying needs to read this.
Especially if you want the left to do better politically in future.
Brilliant

Mindset changing
Challenged my preconceptions. Well argued rational, supported by evidence, to show the development of populism has been growing for many years. The increasing distrust and experiences of the population with the political classes for the reasons presented sets up a major challenge to our current political system

An insightful must-read
The authors put together a very well researched book that excels at diagnosing the current political situation in the Western world through the rise of national populism. I highly recommend this book to any progressive-minded citizen.

A book for our times
Debunks many myths about the swathes of disenfranchised, misunderstood voters. The political class should be issued with a copy when entering Parliament.

Nuanced and comprehensive
This audiobook is the most comprehensive overview of a phenomenon mainstream media brush as far-right without giving the concerns within any credit.
Political, yet engaging and interesting throughout.
Highly recommended.
