Abstract

Michael Sandel and Jonathan Haidt have proposed complementary ways of understanding the mechanisms of the populist backlash phenomenon. This article will seek to briefly present these proposals and then link these with another proposal, that of Girard’s mimetic theory. The article aims to show how the mimetic theory explains the scapegoat mechanism underlying the rejection of meritocracy as well as tribalism. This mechanism could be said to have generated the current situation in Western society.
