Le reve americain est-il mort ? L'Amerique est-elle en declin ? C'est sur ce theme que s'est fait elire Donald Trump en 2016, pretendant raviver la flamme, le 'reve', et restaurer la grandeur de l'Amerique. Pour l'auteur, un tel discours renoue avec l'imaginaire et l'histoire des Etats-Unis. Car l'angoisse du declin autant que l'espoir d'une vie meilleure, le pessimisme autant que l'optimisme sont au coeur meme du reve americain et ce des la creation des colonies britanniques en Amerique du Nord. Explorant cette histoire emotionnelle dans laquelle le puritanisme occupe une large place, l'auteur examine les differentes composantes du presuppose declin - hispanisation, fin de l'Amerique blanche .. - qu'il confronte a la realite. Ses analyses eclairent d'un jour nouveau le mandat de Barack Obama, percu dans certains milieux comme le fossoyeur du reve americain. Un reve qui, en depit de tout, garde un immense pouvoir d'attractivite sur des millions de gens de par le monde.

"Cet essai sur la présidence Trump montre qu'elle n'est pas une aberration mais la convergence de forces profondes ; elle est le résultat d'une montée du populisme et d'attentes jamais prises en compte par les élites, tant démocrates que républicaines. Le rejet par le président de la vérité factuelle même en matière scientifique, ses attaques contre le Congrès, le Département de la Justice, l'indépendance du pouvoir judiciaire et la liberté de la presse ont un impact sur les institutions et la primauté du droit. Les politiques actuelles grignotent, voire détruisent des pans entiers de l'État providence et les droits et libertés devenus réalité dans les années 1960. Ce démantèlement interne a des conséquences sur le soft power des États-Unis, la cause des droits humains et le rayonnement à l'international des valeurs des Lumières et de l'Occident. Les élections de 2020 seront cruciales."--Page 4 of cover.

"From one of the world's most celebrated moral philosophers, an examination of the current political crisis. In The Monarchy of Fear Martha C. Nussbaum--an acclaimed scholar and humanist--analyzes the political standoff that has polarized American life since the 2016 presidential election and focuses on what so many pollsters and pundits have overlooked: the political is always emotional. Globalization, automation, and the rising costs of higher education have produced feelings of powerlessness in millions of American people. Related issues trouble European unity. That sense of powerlessness and a pervasive underlying fear of change bubble into resentment and blame: of immigrants, Muslims, those of other races, and cultural elites. While this politics of blame played a role in the election of Donald Trump and the vote for Brexit, Nussbaum argues it can be found on all sides of the political spectrum--confusingly intertwined, however, with reasonable arguments aiming at greater justice. She argues that retribution is always a bad response to fear and articulates a politics of constructive work and hope. Drawing on a mix of historical and contemporary examples, from classical Athens to the musical Hamilton, The Monarchy of Fear untangles our web of emotions and provides a road map of where to go next."--Dust jacket.

Shortly after assuming office in January 2017, President Donald Trump accused the press of being an 'enemy of the American people'. Attacks on the media had been a hallmark of Trump's presidential campaign, but language like this ventured into dangerous territory. The author writes about why we should fear for the future of American democracy. In reminding us of Edward R. Murrow's courageous reporting on Senator Joseph McCarthy's 'red scare' theatrics in the early 1950s, and of Woodward and Bernstein's reporting during the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, the author shows that the press has been a bulwark in the defense of democracy.
