Reviews

A unique, sophisticated, and surprising analysis of contemporary right-wing/libertarian populism in the United States. Fleck pushes anthropology in important new directions to consider the long-term relationship between today's (false or mutated) libertarianism and race, class, and the late-capitalist status quo and, most unexpectedly, the kinship between classical liberalism and classical socialism-both of which are misunderstood and maligned by conservative populists. * Jack David Eller, anthropologist, author of Trump and Political Theology: Unmaking Truth and Democracy and editor of The Anthropology of Trump: Culture and the Exceptional Moment *
