"The global revolt against elites is not just driven by revulsion and loss and racism. It’s also driven by the global economy itself."


It isn't that I'm unwilling to join the resistance. It's that I'm already leading the resistance.

Global Trumpism: Why Trump’s Victory Was 30 Years in the Making and Why It Won’t Stop Here, by Mark Blyth (Foreign Affairs)
