The Interplay of Neoliberalism and Far-Right Politics
This chapter examines the complex relationship between far-right political movements and neoliberalism, suggesting they have worked in tandem rather than opposing each other. It highlights the socio-economic conditions that allowed this alignment, particularly focusing on the political shifts in the U.S. around 2016 and how populism emerged from existing grievances against globalization.
