Abstract

The article from Jacobin Magazine discusses John Ganz's book "When the Clock Broke," which explores the politics of the 1990s, highlighting figures like Pat Buchanan and David Duke. The book suggests that the 1990s offered previews of contemporary right-wing politics and examines the rise of fringe alternatives on the Right. Ganz's analysis connects the politics of national despair in the 1990s to the emergence and appeal of Donald Trump, emphasizing Buchanan's influence as a consequential figure in shaping right-wing politics.
