Rezensionen

The Populist Temptation is strongly recommended for scholars interested in the economic roots and consequences of right wing populism, and, more broadly, those utilizing historical comparative narratives. Furthermore, the effort of the author to refer to the impacts of populism in the EU makes it also valuable for scholars of European public policies or interested in the future of the EU.
