“Cultural Backlash” and the Political Whiplash of Populism

Interesting blog posted at Stigler Center’s ProMarket on the latest political sciences theories about the rise of populism: “The main driver [of populism] is “cultural backlash” and, as far as economics plays a role, it is in a racialized manner—nativists believe that “aliens” are getting too numerous or powerful and that is why they think the national economy is in dire straits. Consequently, many Trump voters are positive about their personal economic situation, but think the national economy is in trouble.”
