Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El 8 de noviembre de 2016, Estados Unidos se despertó en la UVI. Un multimillonario histriónico había ganado las elecciones con un mensaje machista, antiinmigrante, antielitista y nacionalista. żEn qué momento se jodió el país? En los años 80 Ronald Reagan y Margaret Thatcher habían levantado un modelo de plácido entendimiento entre mercados y democracias que hizo crack en 2008. Entonces surgieron chispazos rupturistas como Occupy Wall Street. Hoy asistimos al rearme de las élites, y vemos cómo Trump es solo uno de los indicios de un fenómeno global: la extrema derecha crece y afloran mandatarios como Bolsonaro, Salvini u Orban. Frente a este panorama, los impulsores de El síntoma Trump se lanzaron a interrogar a los economistas, intelectuales, historiadores y activistas más influyentes de Estados Unidos para romper los clichés sobre el magnate. El resultado son dieciséis entrevistas organizadas en tres partes: primero, un análisis del sistema que ha favorecido al fenómeno Trump, hasta llegar a las entrañas del Partido Republicano; un segundo bloque que aborda los conflictos atascados históricamente en la sociedad estadounidense, como la raza, la clase, la inmigración o el feminismo; y un tercero que se arriesga con alternativas para el futuro, ya sea a partir del populismo democrático de Bernie Sanders o de los últimos movimientos emancipadores. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
