Across the political spectrum, commentators paste the label on forces and individuals who really have just one big thing in common: they are effective at blasting \"elites\" or \"the establishment\" for harming the interests and betraying the ideals of \"the people\" in nations that are committed, at least officially, to democratic principles. Kazin's classic book has influenced debates over populism since its publication. The new preface to this edition brings the story up to date by charting the present resurgence of populist discourse, which was front and center in the 2016 elections and in the Brexit debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Kazin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501714538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501714535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Michael Kazin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047087894783,"sku":"9781501714535","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3614f341-23e5-4e23-a0c8-c830253f9c99.jpg?v=1684988185","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-populist-persuasion-michael-kazin-9781501714535","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
