How the Radical Right Has Changed Capitalism and Welfare in Europe and the USA

The book explores how radical right parties have used their political power to reform economic and social policies across different regions of Europe and the USA. It delves into the interplay of ideological and political-economic factors shaping these policy choices, highlighting how the radical right’s policies create economic ‘winners’ and ‘losers’.

The book also discusses the role of socio-economic policies in manufacturing consent for democratic backsliding and authoritarian rule, situating its contributions within the literatures of comparative politics, party politics, welfare state research, and comparative political economy.
