The Outbreak of Populism

An alert against the rise of populism and its dire consequences
Mario Vargas Llosa, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, Enrique Krauze, Yoani Sánchez, and Álvaro Vargas Llosa, among many others, address in this work, fruit of the impulse of the International Foundation for Freedom, the disaster that accompanies the arrival of populism and dissect its different forms and masks, from the nationalist populism of Trump or Le Pen to the radical leftism of Podemos and governments inspired by Chavism.
Spain, but also Europe and the United States, will face in the coming years a political wave that endangers the foundations of liberal democracy that led to the greatest period of prosperity in history. The anger, often justified and understandable, against institutions and parties has led to the rise of political options that threaten to undermine citizens' freedoms.
The authors of this book are well acquainted with and have witnessed the risks posed by populism, and their response is nothing less than a tenacious defense of democratic principles and freedom.
