Marina Prentoulis argues that left populism is a political logic that brings together isolated demands against a common enemy and looks at how egalitarian pluralism could transform economic and political institutions in a radical, democratic direction. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 192 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 May 2021\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pluto Press\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive book delves into the transformative journey of left populism across grassroots, national, and European levels, posing crucial questions about harnessing the power of broad-based, popular left politics. While the right has successfully employed populist rhetoric, the left has faced challenges in translating its ideals into tangible outcomes. Syriza in Greece and Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party in Britain, for instance, have struggled to introduce socialism, while Podemos has achieved greater success in Spain and is now in government with the Spanish Socialist Workers Party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her insightful analysis, Marina Prentoulis, a renowned political organizer, posits that left populism emerges as a political logic that unites isolated demands against a common adversary. She explores how egalitarian pluralism can reshape economic and political institutions in a radical, democratic direction. However, the path to progress varies among different parties, and understanding the roots, party organization, and national contexts is essential for charting a course forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers a clear and holistic perspective on left populism, providing valuable insights for anyone seeking to comprehend and navigate the complexities of this political movement in a challenging time for the left in Europe. It sheds light on the potential for positive change and offers practical strategies for building a stronger and more inclusive left-wing movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 212g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 x 215 x 16 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780745337630\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marina Prentoulis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101327257850,"sku":"9780745337630","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/cc35c8bf7e724eb8531d3d559af749b0.jpg?v=1632970636","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/left-populism-in-europe-lessons-from-jeremy-corbyn-to-podemos","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
