Abstract

On page 1 of my book The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class, published in 2011, it was stated that unless the insecurities and needs and aspirations of the precariat were addressed as a matter of urgency, a political monster would emerge. Following the election of Donald Trump in November, a number of readers have written to say the monster has arrived. Unfortunately for us, he is not going to be the only political monster. We have the prospect of Marine Le Pen. We have disgusting people running Turkey and Hungary, and we have our own types in the wings, waiting to take over. We are on red. Not amber. We are on red.
