The Age of Discontent : Populism, Extremism, and Conspiracy Theories in Contemporary Democracies

Economic crises since 2008 have led to the rise of populist, extremist, Far Right, and conspiracy-focused movements. Emotions borne of economic crises produce cultural discontent (i.e. enflames conflicts over values and identities), an approach the book calls 'Affective Political Economy'. The book studies these dynamics in Europe and the Americas.
