In this episode of 'The Ezra Klein Show,' Ezra Klein and Pippa Norris examine the global rise of far-right leaders, exploring the cultural backlash resulting from generational shifts in values since the post-World War II era. They discuss how older generations, focused on material security, are confronted by younger generations prioritizing post-material concerns, leading to a new political landscape. Economic insecurities and a yearning for traditional values contribute to support for authoritarian populist parties, while social media has transformed political communication, amplifying populist voices. The discussion culminates in understanding how these dynamics create fertile ground for far-right movements across diverse nations.
