Everything we think we know about populism is wrong. Donald Trump.
Brexit. European right-wing extremists. All have been accused of
populism. But what does this often thrown about, yet generally
misunderstood, term actually mean? The real story of populism is an
account of enlightenment and liberation; the story of democracy
itself, of its promise of a decent life for us all. Here, acclaimed
political commentator Thomas Frank takes us from the emergence of
the radical left-wing US Populist Party in the 1890s, through the
triumphs of reformers under Roosevelt and Truman, to the present
day, reminding us how much we owe to the populist ethos. He pummels
the elites, revisits the movement's provocative politics, and
declares true populism to be the language of promise and optimism.
People Without Power is a ringing affirmation of a movement that,
Frank shows us, is not the problem of our times, but the solution.
