Suicide of a Nation

PRAISE FOR MATT GOODWIN: 'Compelling ... Measured and insightful' - Sunday Telegraph 'A fascinating new study ... the authors analyse the long-term demographic and socioeconomic trends shaping our age of upheaval. The attraction of this book lies in its cool, dispassionate tone. The authors intend to explain and inform rather than polemicise' - The Sunday Times 'Intelligent, counterintuitive ... [ranging] far beyond Brexit and Britain ... they put a parochial debate in a much bigger context' - Economist 'Valuable ... a finely organised, lucid explanation of the elements presently constituting the most dynamic political movements in Europe and the US.' - Financial Times 'A useful corrective... it demolishes the myth that young people aren't attracted to the populist right'- The Sunday Times 'A reality check to any clinging to the hope that populism is a passing political squall ... Goodwin is one of the few academics to be vindicated by the political trends of the past few years. With a forensic grasp of the detail, Eatwell and Goodwin show how commentators have succumbed to ""stereotypes that correspond with their outlook"" rather than evidence-based conclusions' - Telegraph 'Convincing, powerful and very definitely worth a read' - Robert Colvile, Director of CPS Think Tank 'Informative and often compelling, providing clarity around a number of key debates within political science and political theory [...] Usefully, they provide copious evidence that rightwing populism has been a long time in the making' - Guardian
