Description:
The populist wave which has submerged Europe and the United States in recent years seems unstoppable. But is it? The end of populism offers answers and proposes concrete solutions to confront the rise of 'illiberal democracy.'
Drawing on extensive original sources, this book refutes the populist claim that democracy is a 'demand side' phenomenon, and demonstrates that it is rather a 'supply side' phenomenon. Marcel H. Van Herpen argues that one can have 'too much democracy' and shows how methods of direct democracy, such as popular initiatives, referendums, and open primaries, which pretend 'to give the power back to the people,' have led to manipulation by populists and moneyed interests. Populist attacks on the judiciary, central banks, the media, and other independent agencies, instead of strengthening democracy, have rather undermined liberal democracy. The author formulates twenty original and bold proposals to bridge the gap between the people and the elites, fight corruption, improve political party funding, and initiate societal, educational, and macro-economic reforms to increase economic equality and alleviate the insecurity of the citizens.
Elegantly written and clearly argued, this is an essential book for understanding the populist phenomenon.

Excellent!
Format: Kindle
This book is worth reading. From its meticulously researched details to its accessible nature that allows everyone interested in history to enjoy what is contained within these pages, "Alexander the Great" lives up to its title. There is no surprise here, as volumes in this series are generally known to be superb!

very detailed larger book
Format: Kindle
Most books or movies center on the Battles and Victories that made him. This book is different in its details of geography and people and pre-historical events.

...there Is much to learn....
Format: Kindle
In spite of the title; it's not until 40% into this book that the subject matter actually gets around to "Alexander the Great'.
Oddly, several times, the text uses the phrase "might have said" to signify what someone MIGHT have said. Then there are occasions where the reader is told that someone uses cunning, or brilliant planning, to achieve a goal…but the method or action is not actually explained. Then there are (of necessity?) occasions where the author purely assumes or guesses at circumstances, or actions.
The great majority of the book is taken up with detailed descriptions of battles.
STILL - there Is much to learn from this glorification of Alexander.
