Summary:
"In this provocative and highly original book, Salvatore Babones argues that democracy has been undermined by a quiet but devastating power grab conducted by a class of liberal experts. Populism thus represents an imperfect but reinvigorating political flood that has the potential to rejuvenate democracy across the west"-- Provided by publisher.
