Key Thinkers of the Radical Right

Since the start of the twenty-first century the political mainstream has been shifting to the right. The liberal orthodoxy that took hold in the West as a reaction to the Second World War is breaking down. In Europe populist political parties have pulled the mainstream in their direction; in<br>America a series of challenges to the Republican mainstream culminated in the 2016 election of Donald Trump. <p/>In <em>Key Thinkers of the Radical Right</em> sixteen expert scholars explain sixteen thinkers providing an introduction to their life and work a guide to their thought and an explanation of their work's reception. The chapters focus on thinkers who are widely read across the political right in both<br>Europe and America such as Julius Evola Alain de Benoist and Richard B. Spencer. Featuring classic modern and emerging thinkers this selection provides a good representation of the intellectual right and avoids making political or value judgments. In an increasingly polarized political<br>environment <em>Key Thinkers of the Radical Right</em> offers a comprehensive and unbiased introduction to the thinkers who form the foundation of the radical right.<br>
