The populist wave which has submerged Europe and the United States in recent years seems unstoppable. But is it? The end of populism offers answers and proposes concrete solutions to confront the rise of illiberal democracy. Drawing on extensive original sources, this book refutes the populist claim that democracy is a demand side phenomenon, and demonstrates that it is rather a supply side phenomenon. Marcel H. Van Herpen argues that one can have too much democracy and shows how methods of direct democracy, such as popular initiatives, referendums, and open primaries, which pretend to give the power back to the people, have led to manipulation by populists and moneyed interests. Populist attacks on the judiciary, central banks, the media, and other independent agencies, instead of strengthening democracy, have rather undermined liberal democracy. The author formulates twenty original and bold proposals to bridge the gap between the people and the elites, fight corruption, improve political party funding, and initiate societal, educational, and macro-economic reforms to increase economic equality and alleviate the insecurity of the citizens. Elegantly written and clearly argued, this is an essential book for understanding the populist phenomenon.
