In the Ruins of Neoliberalism
The Rise of Antidemocratic Politics in the West
By Wendy Brown

Wendy Brown explains the hard-right turn in Western politics. She argues that neoliberalism’s intensification of nihilism coupled with its accidental wounding of white male supremacy generates an apocalyptic populism willing to destroy the world rather than endure a future in which this supremacy disappears.
