It traces how the rapid transformation of transportation and communications during the Industrial Revolution and the Digital Revolution created economic interdependence and capital flows that induced radical economic, social, and political disruptions, leading to separate national-populist movements. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 October 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxford University Press Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early 21st century, a novel account emerges that sheds light on the rise of populism and fascism. In societies that are technologically advanced, a pervasive sense of conspiracy theories and a widespread distrust of science and expertise have emerged, leading to deep political divisions that are dividing nations in two. Defensive Nationalism provides an explanation for this paradox, drawing upon history as a guide. B. S. Rabinowitz explores the turn-of-the-19th century, a period characterized by exceptional technological innovation that ultimately resulted in toxic political upheavals. To investigate the underlying reasons, the author combines Karl Polanyi's concept of the double movement with Joseph Schumpeter's theory of innovation. Through a captivating narrative spanning two centuries, the book traces how the rapid transformations of transportation and communications during the Industrial Revolution and the Digital Revolution created economic interdependence and capital flows that induced radical economic, social, and political disruptions. In response, separate national-populist movements emerged, stemming from distinct national histories and struggles, leading to an era of defensive nationalism. Rabinowitz distinguishes between creative, consolidating, and defensive nationalism, offering a fresh perspective on studying socio-political patterns across time and space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the early 21st century, a novel account emerges that sheds light on the rise of populism and fascism.
