Populism is a political ideology that vilifies elites, minorities and foreigners while lionizing "the people." In The Populist Temptation, Barry Eichengreen focuses on the resurgence of populism as seen in Donald Trump's election, Brexit, and the rise of populist parties in Europe. He shows that, all through history, populists thrived when economic grievances and identity concerns came together, typically in the wake of sharp economic downturns and immigrant surges. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the appeals and dangers of populism.
