Samizdata quote of the day
Johnathan Pearce (London)  North American affairs • Slogans/quotations

"The fact that there is some populist anger in the country these days is not a shock. The surprising thing is that there is not a lot more of it."

Arnold Kling.

Comments

As a followerof Kling's writings at L.F.and elsewhere, why does he use the term "populist" which has a particular connotation in the U S political context?

What we are seeing in the hustings is something more "profound."

But, I will ask Kling on his site.

I don't know that populist neccesarily has the same connotation as Populist any more then libertarian and Libertarian do, especially in this case.

Just wait until the 2010 Congressional elections, if you want to see real "populism"...
