Populism is making a bold, modern comeback. Over the next year the "people's movement" will play a decisive role in elections at home and across the world.

In the spring and summer of 2016, the world's richest democracies witnessed a collective upheaval that shocked the globe. As if overnight, many Democrats backed a socialist named Bernie Sanders; the United Kingdom voted to the leave the European Union, in a stunning rebuke; the nativist billionaire Donald Trump became the presidential nominee of the Republican Party; and a slew of extreme parties continued to win election after election in countries like Norway, Austria, and Greece.

A new book by John B. Judis, The Populist Explosion, traces the phenomenon of populism back to its roots in the 1890s United States and sees it in a new light: as a warning sign for the ideological crises to come. What started in the United States spread to Europe and back again. As the EU grapples with the aftershock of Brexit, the U.S. must also come to terms with the implications of the rise of Sanders and Trump: growing numbers of people are insisting that our standard worldview is breaking down and in desperate need of repair.

Join New America NYC for a conversation with John B. Judis and New America co-founder Michael Lind on the social and economic upheaval roiling politics on both sides of the aisle and both sides of the Atlantic.

Allama Muhammad Iqbal, also known as Sir Muhammad Iqbal, was a prominent poet, philosopher, lawyer and politician from British India. He was born on November 9, 1877 in Sialkot, Punjab, India (now in Pakistan) and died on April 21, 1938 in Lahore, Punjab. He is quite famous for his seminal attempts to lead his fellow Muslims in British-governed India towards the foundation of a distinct Muslim state; these efforts finally came to fruition and realization in the country of Pakistan. As an enthusiastic and passionate Muslim, Allama Iqbal believed that human beings' future lies in a union of Islamic nations, unrestricted by the bonds of distinct nationhood, and completely emancipated from imperialism and colonialism. In Press TV's gripping and riveting "Iqbal: The Eastern Wisdom," through interviews with Javid Iqbal, Allama Iqbal's deceased son, and other individuals, we take you to the past into Allama Iqbal's childhood and educational/academic life. You will be also familiarized with Allama Iqbal's philosophy and poetry by being exposed to some of his thought-provoking poems.

Iqbal: The Eastern Wisdom

An Introduction To Suffering

E' Come Se

Paranoia and the theology of self-abasement.

So drained I can no longer enjoy a night’s rest.

There is joy though in this emptiness , an expectation, an event.

A longing.

I have no reason for sadness, other than this wretched biology.

Myth and might, tripping twilight along with this scarlet beast inside.

I am my own lover and sister, betrayer and confidant, neither.

I’m trying to remember, my body is dying when I recall.

Sick and twisting in on myself.

Strangled by my web of lies and apparent unreal.

Save me, so I can re-break myself again.

There is meaning in the chaos.
