Book Synopsis
Why, in a time of increasing inequality, has there been a recent surge of support for political parties who promote an anti-welfare message? Using a mixed methods approach and newly released data, this book aims to answer this question and to show possible ways forward for welfare states.

Trade Review
"This important book sets out to tackle the welfare–populism nexus and convincingly shows that the new divisions in our societies instigate welfare chauvinism." Steffen Mau, Humboldt University of Berlin
“A very timely exposé that contributes significantly to our understanding of the factors at stake in the complex interplay between the rise of populism and the development of the welfare state.” Femke Roosma, Tilburg University
