Nearly a decade after the great financial crash, it is these figures and the alarmingly confident and radical version of right-wing politics they represent that have gained the initiative over a moribund centre and a still weak left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut what exactly does this new reality represent? While some argue that we are hurtling towards fascism in a replay of the 1930s, and others insist there is little substantial change from \"politics as usual,\" Renton takes a different and more nuanced view. In country after country, under the clouds of economic austerity and post-9\/11 Islamophobia, we have seen a convergence between traditional conservatives, the authoritarian far-right, and previously marginal fascists. The result is a new, still emergent, and deeply troubling form of right-wing radicalism, at once more moderate than classical fascism in its political strategy, yet indulgent of the racism of its most extreme components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Authoritarians\u003c\/em\u003e by David Renton explores this political landscape, offering an insightful analysis of the shifts in right-wing politics post the financial crash and amidst a climate of Islamophobia and economic hardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850340454636,"sku":"9781608469086","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18710463482760.jpg?v=1759082954"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/d-k-renton.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
