Eliane Glaser "Anti-Politics: On the Demonization of Ideology, Authority and the State" (Repeater Books)
This is a wonderful little book on how we have got to the present malaise of populism and the distancing from the establishment that seems to pervade politics now. Whatever the roots of our anger and apathy, we need to revive the three pillars of political philosophy that seem to be dirty words in her estimation - ideology, authority, and the state. She defends these foundations, despite them being unpopular in the media, as a necessary bulwark against this malaise towards the functioning of a fair society.
A rather prescient book for our times.
