Published by the Peter Lang publishing house, the book entitled. 'Economic Populism in British and American Political Discourse. A Comparative Analysis of Boris Johnson's and Donald Trump's Speeches' by dr Ewa Feder-Sempach is a uniquely interesting, interdisciplinary publication that explains how the leading leaders of the Western world communicate with the public by stoking anti-immigration sentiment, promoting nationalism and concerns about modern technology, while remaining in the spirit of conservative political values.
The publisher Peter Lang's website reads about the publication:
This book presents the economic populism in British and American political discourse providing a current insight into the way Boris Johnson and Donald Trump communicate with the general public by raising fears over national security, immigration and technological advances. It shows how politicians asked for populism despite its poor economic record by using the same narrative of Conservatism. Unlike other books in the field which broadly discuss different aspects of populism, this book is the first in-depth analysis of economic populism containing political discourse studies. The recent populist discussion has started dominating the political arena in many countries. Hence, it seems that there is a need for a book that will explain the economic populism by showing its true nature.
Dr Ewa Feder-Sempach is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of Łódź. Her research focuses on political science and issues related to the (inter)national economy.
