Mark Blyth (born September 29, 1967)[1] is a British political scientist from Scotland and a professor of international political economy at Brown University.

Early life and education

Blyth grew up in Dundee, Scotland and was raised by his grandmother after his mother died shortly after child birth.[2] He received a BA in Political Science from Strathclyde University in 1990 and a PhD in political science from Columbia University in 1999.

Career

He is best known for his critique of austerity, Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea, described by Salon and AlterNet as "necessary reading" and as simultaneously functioning as an economics explainer, a polemic, and a history book offering "insight into austerity’s lineage, its theories, its champions and its failures." Blyth characterized the argument advanced by austerity advocates as "a canard" and "complete horseshit."[3][4]

Using the term "Trumpism", Blyth argues that there are similar anti-establishment movements across the developed world.[5][6]
