Populism is best understood as a Manichaean world view linked to a
characteristic language or discourse. Chavismo, the movement that
sustains Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, is a paradigmatic instance of
populism. Using a novel, cross-country dataset on populist
discourse, combined with extensive data from within Venezuela and
across other countries, this book demonstrates that populist
movements can be understood as responses to widespread corruption
and economic crisis. The book analyzes the Bolivarian Circles and
government missions in Venezuela, revealing how populist ideas
influence political organization and policy. The analysis provides
important insight into the nature of populism, including its causes
and consequences, and addresses broader questions about the role of
ideas in politics.
