Populism can only occur in a democracy. It grows when people believe their government in unable, too corrupt, or unwilling to address the issues they care about. It is highly susceptible to demagoguery, which makes it dangerous. The cure for populism is good government. Sounds too simple, but that is how the U.S. escaped the serious populism of the 1890s. If government responds to their people, populism goes away.

Wonderful,easy to understand info. Thanks Bruce. I am a born and raised Californian, until 1966 anyway. Lived through most of the periods illustrated on the graphs. The 70's were very difficult on everyone. So is the present. Again, thanks.

There were three national news sources in 1965 and they simply repeated the propoganda spewed by the Government. I stopped watching national news in 1965. I welcome the internet as a source of accurate information as well as propoganda. The challenge is to learn to identify and ignore the propoganda. From everyone.
