Howard Publication has released 'The Politics of Rage' by Seán Hogan, a veteran of public institutions who has served on boards and led governance reforms. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the global rise of far-right populism and its mounting threat to democratic systems, drawing connections between political movements across multiple continents.
Hogan examines how anger, fear, and cultural anxiety have been weaponized to destabilize nations and fracture democratic institutions. The analysis spans from Donald Trump's presidency to Brexit, and from Marine Le Pen's reinvention of France's far right to Viktor Orbán's nationalist resurgence in Hungary. Through decades of governance and policy experience, Hogan exposes what he describes as the manipulation of truth, erosion of public trust, and cynical exploitation of identity politics that have transformed once-fringe movements into dominant political forces.
The book's importance lies in its timing and perspective, coming from an author with firsthand experience in public institutions who has advocated for stronger governance. Hogan argues that democracy does not collapse in a single moment but erodes when citizens and institutions fail to recognize and respond to threats. His work serves as what he calls a wake-up call, challenging readers to confront the institutional failures and silence that have allowed far-right populist movements to thrive globally.
For citizens, scholars, and policymakers, 'The Politics of Rage' offers both analysis and a call to action. The book is available for purchase through major retailers including Amazon. Additional information about the publication can be found at the publisher's website https://howardpublication.com/.
The implications of Hogan's analysis extend beyond academic circles to practical governance and civic engagement. As political polarization intensifies in numerous democracies, understanding the mechanisms through which populist movements gain power becomes increasingly urgent for maintaining democratic stability. The book's examination of how public trust erodes and how truth becomes manipulated provides critical insights for those working to strengthen democratic institutions against contemporary challenges.
