This is the second part of our conversation with John B. Judis.
John B. Judis has brought out a book with Colombia Global Reports during each of the last three national political seasons: The Populist Explosion in 2016, The Nationalist Revival in 2018, and now The Socialist Awakening. Together, these books have charted a rise of a new and unexpected political mood produced by widespread dissatisfaction over results of the free-market policies that emerged in the late 20th century.

The Socialist Awakening
What’s Different Now About the Left
The Socialist Awakening chronicles the rebirth of an idea driven by a rising anti-capitalist resentment among those looking to reclaim public power over the direction of private enterprise—an idea that has become urgent in the wake of the pandemic and the economic depression.
“A person of the left, Judis specializes in speaking truth to liberals.” —E.J. Dionne Jr., Washington Post
The Socialist Awakening was published with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation
