Voices from the Edge: Populism and the Philosophical Roots of Discontent

In a time marked by political upheaval and societal division, this compelling exploration delves into the philosophical underpinnings of populism and the pervasive discontent that fuels it. Through a meticulous analysis of historical and contemporary voices, the book uncovers the deep-seated grievances that have given rise to populist movements across the globe.
