Description
FAR-RIGHT MOVEMENTS
Book Summary
A lucid and necessary analysis of the unstoppable rise of the far-right on the global political stage. Jorge Alemán unravels the deep-seated causes of this phenomenon, from Elon Musk’s fascist salute to the rise to power of figures like Trump or Milei. The author invites us to understand how capitalism and the loss of collective projects have created the perfect breeding ground for these political forces to offer easy solutions to social grievances. An essential work for understanding the primary political challenge of our time.
What is it about?
The book addresses the dizzying rise of the far-right in the current global context, explaining that this is not an isolated or fleeting phenomenon, but a symptom of an era marked by the crisis of capitalism and the abandonment of collective projects. Jorge Alemán analyzes the strategic pact these political forces forge with large multinationals and technology, and how they succeed in capitalizing on public discontent by offering simplistic answers to complex problems. Through multiple perspectives, the work examines key figures such as Trump, Milei, or the technoligarchs, and explores the transformations of the world order that explain their meteoric rise to power.
