Recenzii
In Epstein's hands, populism refers more to pervasive cultural sensibilities, shared by the mass of the American public, than to the personalities, policies or political strategies of individual political figures. And his contention is that politicians must adhere to these populist cultural sensibilities if they are to succeed electorally.
"While this book contains no reference to Trump, the cultural logic it unfolds in the context of current events provides such a convincing explanation of his rise that it is difficult to avoid reading it in that way. Epstein's conclusions are troubling news for believers in the virtues of the public sphere and likely a bitter pill for many of Trump's American detractors to swallow."
Epstein has succeeded in revealing the sometimes unhealthy symbiosis between the psychology professions and the democratic societies that nurture them. For this reason alone, his book deserves a wide readership. If you are an applied psychologist, it may even change the way you practice.
