Christophe Guilluy
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"The expression “liberal/libertarian” is due to the philosopher Michel Clouscard, who argued in Néo-fascisme et idéologie du désir (Paris: Denoël, 1973) that the leftism of 1968 facilitated and accelerated the advent of liberal capitalism and market supremacy." --Twilight of the Elites (2019) by Christophe Guilluy |

Christophe Guilluy (born October 14, 1964 in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis) is a French geographer and author.
In France, he is known for his theory on la France périphérique ("peripheral France").
His books state that many members of the political elite have lost contact to the lower classes, which are mainly in rural France, which he calls "peripheral France". He has used that theory to explain the rise of the National Front in France.
Also, he explained US support for Donald Trump by the existence of a peripheral America during an interview in the French magazine Le Point.
