Description

The Trump Conundrum argues that the presidency of Donald Trump represents more than a political anomaly; it is a symptom of a deep-seated crisis within democratic capitalism. The author contends that the rise of such disruptive, anachronistic political figures is a direct consequence of democratic institutions failing to adapt to the pressures of a new, multi-polar global order. The book offers a robust framework for reinventing democratic capitalism for the 21st century. It dissects the institutional weaknesses that leaders like President Trump exploit, and proposes concrete policy and governance reforms aimed at fostering resilience, equity, and stability. By examining the intersection of populist nationalism, economic inequality, and shifting geopolitical power, this work provides a roadmap for navigating the turbulent future of liberal democracy. This rigorous yet accessible monograph is essential reading for scholars and students of political science, international relations, and public policy, as well as for any reader concerned with the future of democratic government.
