Only a little over half way through, but would say this is a balanced, fair and intelligent review of Mishra's latest book. I think, additionally, Mishra rides too hard his hobbyhorses of imperialism & the imposition of western mores on Africa and Asia and pushes disparate figures and movements into an alignment that is artifactual to his (unproven) contentions. Are Hindu nationalists and (he doesn't mention these, but implies it's all one piece) Sikh extremists (Air India bombers) really the same as jihadists and Trump supporters? Of course rage drives them all, but rage about what, exactly? The point about the dispossessed and excluded resenting the elites is also off base, as noted in the review. Many nationalists, Trump supporters, jihadists, etc. are not poor, not excluded, quite the opposite. bin Laden  & Trump himself are children of privilege. They're not mere opportunists, but to some degree believe what they contend. Still, the book gives pause & helps to clarify our context.
