Ray Kiely Knihy

The book critically explores the complex processes of deindustrialization and its significant role in shaping deep political issues. It connects this phenomenon to right-wing populism, contemporary geopolitical tensions with China, Brexit, and initiatives like the New Green Deal and levelling up. By analyzing these interconnections, it sheds light on how economic shifts influence political landscapes and societal responses.

Ray Kiely examines the conservative anti-globalization that has manifested itself in recent years as a nostalgia for a former supposed age of economic and societal harmony and which has informed popular mantras of deregulation and economic nationalism.
