However, this would be a serious mistake. By dooming effective international limits on greenhouse gases, such an approach would actually make the world's poor and developing nations far worse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the provocative and original argument of \u003cem\u003eClimate Change Justice\u003c\/em\u003e. Eric Posner and David Weisbach strongly favour both a climate change agreement and efforts to improve economic justice.

Posner argues that Trump falls within a tradition of American political personalities who have used the language of exploitation and grievance to amass power—and, in many cases, were quite popular in their time. From Andrew Jackson to Father Charles Coughlin, the viciously anti-Semitic radio personality of the early 20th century, these demagogues attacked what they perceived as \"enemies of the people\": the elites, the journalists, the policymakers, and the institutional norms of our republican system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the surface, this defense of the \"common people\" feels oddly noble. But, as Posner shows, this defense is an emperor with no clothes. Rather than protect, the demagogue uses everyday people—and invents their enemies—to undermine, ultimately, their self-interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePosner exposes how we must move past the demagogue's rhetoric and protect the features of a democracy that help it thrive: a free press, a group of experts who oversee the various agencies tasked with improving American lives, and the checks and balances that pose restrictions on public office. Only under such norms can a democracy survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, can a democracy thrive under a demagogue?
