"Far and away the most incisive examination of the central development in contemporary politics: the rise of populism on both the right and the left...Judis demonstrates the crucial role of the 2008 recession in discrediting the neoliberal agenda.

A Fareed Zakaria GPS Book of the Week: "An intelligent guide to a phenomenon by no means over." -- Fareed Zakaria, CNN

"Well-written and well-researched, powerfully argued and perfectly timed." -- The Economist

What is populism? And why have populist parties and candidates suddenly sprung up and even gained power in the United States and Western Europe? The emergence of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, France's Marine LePen, Podemos in Spain, Syriza in Greece, and the Alternative for Germany are signs that an older consensus about politics and government is breaking down.

John B. Judis, one of America's most respected political analysts, tells us why we need to understand the populist movement that began in the United States in the 1890s and whose politics have recurred on both sides of the Atlantic ever since. The Populist Explosion is essential reading for anyone hoping to grasp a global political system that is only just beginning what will be a long-running and highly consequential readjustment.

Feel like I am in hotel
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows are absolutely amazing! They feel just like the luxurious ones you find in high-end hotels—soft, fluffy, and super comfortable. They provide great support for my head and neck, helping me sleep better every night. The white design is clean and classic, and they hold their shape well without going flat. I bought two and couldn’t be happier—worth every penny! Highly recommend for anyone wanting hotel-quality comfort at home.

Great set of pillows!!!
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
I ordered this set of two down alternative pillows to replace some older pillows, and I’m honestly really impressed with the quality. Right out of the package, the pillows fluffed up nicely and felt soft yet supportive. They have that plush feel you want without being too flat or too firm, which makes them comfortable in multiple sleeping positions. I’ve been sleeping on these for a bit now and they’ve held their shape well throughout the night. They provide good neck support while still feeling cozy, and I don’t wake up with soreness or stiffness. What I like most is how breathable they feel compared to some other pillows I’ve tried. They stay comfortable without overheating, and the down alternative fill makes them a great option for anyone with allergies. Overall, this set is an excellent value for the price. If you’re looking for soft, supportive pillows that feel comfortable and well made, I would definitely recommend these.

Great, soft, high-quality pillows, but too thick for me
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
This will be a brief review of my pillow journey. I tried a few of the most popular pillows, like MyPillow, Amazon Basics, bamboo/shredded foam, memory pillows, but my most common complaint about them were that they were all just too high and firm for me. I am a restless sleeper and alternate between back, side, and stomach sleeping, and I strongly preferred the stomach sleeper/flat pillows with a polyester fiber/down alternative filling. Here's a ranking of my 4 top pillows: Eversnug Adjustable Layer Pillows - (#1) These were THE pillow for me. I had never heard of these pillows or the company, but I really like being able to adjust my pillow. These pillows came with 2 small, 2 medium, and 2 large pillows and 2 twin zippable pillow pouches. All of them were polyester fiber filled and somewhat flat and soft, but not lumpy. The pillows may not come the exact same sizes, but they are close enough for me. These are the pillows I ultimately decided to stick with, despite being slightly more expensive than the others at $50 for a set of 2 pillows. Nappler Bamboo Shredded Memory Foam Pillow - (#2) Before I found the Eversnug pillows, I was trying the adjustable bamboo shredded memory foam ones. These were my go-to whenever I was testing pillows I didn't like very much. The only downside to these pillows is that if you don't add enough filling, you could feel the edges of the shredded foam. Also, the "bamboo" cover was way too warm and the inner zipper would get too easily caught. Amazon Basics Down Alternative Pillow - (#3) I don't think I've ever been disappointed by an Amazon Basics product yet. These pillows were soft, amazing pillows, but they were 1-2 inches too thick/firm for me. MyPillow - (#4) Despite all the hype around these, they were too lumpy and 1 inch too thick for me. Like I said previously, I ended up going with the Eversnug Adjustable pillows, which I absolutely adore. A tiny bonus is that you can take the pillows you don't use and rest them on your sides or between your knees for some extra cushioning.

Good price and pretty comfortable
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These down alternative pillows are incredibly soft and comfortable, especially for stomach and back sleepers. The soft density gives just the right amount of support without feeling too firm or too flat. I’ve been sleeping much better since switching to these pillows, and they stay fluffy throughout the night. I also love that they’re hypoallergenic, so there’s no irritation or overheating while sleeping. The standard size fits perfectly in my pillowcases, and the white color looks clean and fresh. Getting a 2-pack at this quality is a great value. Highly recommend for anyone looking for cozy, hotel-style pillows at an affordable price!

Comfortable Pillows
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows have a nice soft feel and are so comfortable. They’re supportive without being too firm, so my neck feels comfortable throughout the night. They’re lightweight, fluffy, and easy to adjust for different sleeping positions. The material feels smooth and well-made, and the pillows hold their shape better than I expected for the price. They use some alternative fill instead of real feathers which is good for people with allergies.
