It argues that one way of understanding the main developments in the political economies of the major Anglophone countries during these decades is to see them as a conservative reaction to the New Deal and the Welfare State, and the associated growth in state intervention, expenditure and regulation. The recent rise in 'authoritarian populism' can be seen as a popular response to the policies associated with this reaction, the response being exploited by populist demagogues like Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Marine Le Pen. Written in a lively and engaging manner, this book will be of interest to academics and students in politics, economics, sociology and contemporary history, as well as general readers. Roger Brown is Professor Emeritus and former Vice Chancellor of Solent University, UK. He has written five books and many articles, mostly on various aspects of higher education policy.Political planningPolitical scienceEconomicsPublic PolicyPolitical ScienceEconomicsPolitical planning.Political science.Economics.Public Policy.Political Science.Economics.320.520941320.52094109048Brown Roger142042MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910588590103321The Conservative Counter-Revolution in Britain and America 1980-20202907943UNINA
