For A Left Populism
''For a Left Populism'' is a 2018 pamphlet by the Belgian writer Chantal Mouffe. Synopsis Influenced by Carl Schmitt's friend-enemy distinction, the Belgian political theorist Chantal Mouffe promotes the development of left-wing populism as a method to establish hegemony for progressivist views. Mouffe argues that the current political situation is a "populist moment" and the left can use this to define a "people", which can be done on other grounds than nation or race, and mobilise it against adversaries chosen by the left. Reception William Davies wrote in ''The Guardian'' that there are some recent examples of what Mouffe seems to favour, such as Syriza, Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders, but that it remains unclear how the left can reach its goals through populism, and how a left-wing populism can remain distinct from right-wing populism and avoid adopting "certain aspects of fascism (such as antisemitism)".

Books By Chantal Mouffe
A book is a structured presentation of recorded information, primarily verbal and graphical, through a medium. Originally physical, electronic books and audiobooks are now existent. Physical books are objects that contain printed material, mostly of writing and images. Modern books are typically composed of many pages bound together and protected by a cover, what is known as the ''codex'' format; older formats include the scroll and the tablet. As a conceptual object, a ''book'' often refers to a written work of substantial length by one or more authors, which may also be distributed digitally as an electronic book (ebook). These kinds of works can be broadly classified into fiction (containing invented content, often narratives) and non-fiction (containing content intended as factual truth). But a physical book may not contain a written work: for example, it may contain ''only'' drawings, engravings, photographs, sheet music, puzzles, or removable content like paper dolls. ...
