Book Review: The Populist Century. History, Theory, Critique by Pierre Rosanvallon, Polity Press, 2021, 223 pages. ISBN-13: 9781509546299

In this book Pierre Rosanvallon develops his vision of populism, which at the same time serves to insist on his own proposals to renew our democracies, widely developed in his previous works. Critical of the literature that has addressed the topic, he offers a perspective based on his own theoretical presuppositions, which explains the subtitle of this work: a history of few moments of populism; its description as an ideology with common and characteristic elements; and a critique that becomes a defense of his views on democracy.
