Sinossi
Dalla Brexit a Donald Trump, fino ai partiti estremisti in via di affermazione in Europa e nei Paesi in via di sviluppo: il populismo domina le notizie degli ultimi tempi. Ma che cosa spiega l'ascesa dei leader che alimentano la rabbia nazionalista nei loro paesi, da Le Pen a Erdogan? Quanto durerà l'ondata populista? Chi saranno i vincitori e i perdenti in questo clima e come possiamo difendere i valori della democrazia, del libero scambio e della cooperazione internazionale? Nessuno è più adatto a esplorare il tema e a rispondere a queste domande di Ian Bremmer, CEO di Eurasia Group e acclamato editorialista della rivista Time. Analizzando le forze sociali, economiche e tecnologiche che alimentano la nuova ondata di populismo, Bremmer spiega perché stiamo assistendo al rifiuto delle tendenze democratiche, globali e cosmopolite del tardo XX secolo. Noi contro di loro è una guida definitiva per navigare nel mutevole panorama politico, cercando di sopravvivere alla tempesta populista. «Quando gli esseri umani si sentono minacciati, identificano il pericolo e cercano alleati in una lotta per la sopravvivenza che oppone varie versioni di "Noi" contro differenti forme di "Loro"».

Recensioni
An executive summary of platitudes framed as if they'll blow your mind. If you have functioning eyes and a subscription to the Guardian, you'll be able to spit this shit out in your sleep.
Ian Bremmer's latest book is a breezy tour d'horizon of contemporary global affairs that offers little fresh insight and makes no real argument. The theme, such as there is one, is that populist movements have gained power across the world and that the neoliberal moment that emerged in the '90s is c Leggi tutto
I generally like Bremmer's books (G-Zero, End of the Free Market, J-curve etc) but this book seemed lazy. It didn't seem well thought out nor researched. Very little in Us vs Them will strike you as enlightening, if you've been alive the past 2 years. His other books have a rather novel idea that is Leggi tutto
Really, a 4.5. The “us/them” division is global in scale and catastrophic in scope. It is already testing our civility, our security, our cultural identity, and our commitment to the ideals of democracy. But you already know that. This is the latest in a growing list of books that seeks to understand Leggi tutto
Maybe I had high hopes for this book, but the truth is that it’s full of common knowledge ideas that most of us already read in the reference newspapers. There is little fresh content here unfortunately.
Terrible. Really, really bad. Didn't get what the purpose of this book was. Instead of dismissing populism, perhaps a real attempt at understanding why it is becoming more prevalent in the world. Instead of dismissing Donald Trump, perhaps an acknowledgment of why he succeeded. It's as if Bremmer con Leggi tutto
Excellent analysis of the political, economic, and cultural problems facing the world. However, Bremmer's solutions slip into Progressive/Socialist cant failing to fully grasp human psychology and the immensity of the problem facing the OECD and emerging nations now and in the near future. As an exp Leggi tutto
Ian Bremmer expertly elucidates the shortcomings of globalism in this miniature guide. With the ascension of political polarization occurring in both industrialized and developing countries, a world in which the government ensures egalitarianism rather than tribalism is more imperative than ever, as Leggi tutto
