Nussbaum has been an acclaimed scholar and humanist, earning dozens of honors for her books and essays. In \u003ci\u003eThe Monarchy of Fear\u003c\/i\u003e she turns her attention to the current political crisis that has polarized American since the 2016 election. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough today's atmosphere is marked by partisanship, divisive rhetoric, and the inability of two halves of the country to communicate with one another, Nussbaum focuses on what so many pollsters and pundits have overlooked. She sees a simple truth at the heart of the problem: the political is always emotional. Globalization has produced feelings of powerlessness in millions of people in the West. That sense of powerlessness bubbles into resentment and blame. Blame of immigrants. Blame of Muslims. Blame of other races. Blame of cultural elites. While this politics of blame is exemplified by the election of Donald Trump and the vote for Brexit, Nussbaum argues it can be found on all sides of the political spectrum, left or right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a mix of historical and contemporary examples, from classical Athens to the musical Hamilton, \u003ci\u003eThe Monarchy of Fear \u003c\/i\u003euntangles this web of feelings and provides a roadmap of where to go next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11783308\"\u003eMartha C.
