RADICAL SOCIAL CHANGE IN THE UNITED STATES - JO...

This book tackles the question of why the United States is so resistant to radical change
towards economic justice and peace. Taking full stock of the despair that launched the popular
support for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump  Swanger historicizes the political paralysis of
post-1974 United States that deepened already severe economic inequalities  asking how the
terrain for social movements in the early twenty-first-century US differs from that of the
1960s. This terrain is marked by the entrenchment of neoliberalism  anti-intellectualism  and
difficulties paradoxically posed by the ease of social media. Activists now must contend with a
paralyzing post-factual moment. Alain Badiou's thought informs this book on breaking through
contemporary political paralysis.
