In this urgent and wideranging case for the prosecution, Tariq Ali looks at the people and events that have informed this development across the world. It is an investigation that reaches its logical conclusion with the presidency of Donald Trump, the success of En Marche  in France, and the dominance of Merkel's Germany throughout Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this fully updated edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Extreme Centre\u003c\/i\u003e, Ali considers recent events that suggest, despite everything, that there is room for hope. He finds promise in Latin America and at the edges of Europe. Emerging parties in Scotland, Greece, and Spain, formed out of the 2008 crisis, are offering new promise for democracy. Even in the UK, with the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, there are indications that the hegemony of the centre may be weaker than imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tariq Ali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786637065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786637062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Tariq Ali","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46173021765887,"sku":"9781786637062","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34b27eaa-9f4a-4916-8c8e-76cdf4659edc.jpg?v=1727179754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-extreme-centre-tariq-ali-9781786637062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
