Abstract

This paper asks whether history should change the way in which economists and economic historians think about populism. We use Müller's definition, according to which populism is ‘an exclusionary form of identity politics, which is why it poses a threat to democracy’. We make three historical arguments. First, late-nineteenth-century US Populists were not populist. Second, there is no necessary relationship between populism and anti-globalization sentiment. Third, economists have sometimes been on the wrong side of important policy debates involving opponents rightly or wrongly described as populist. History encourages us to avoid an overly simplistic view of populism and its correlates.

历史是否应该改变我们对民粹主义的看法?
本文提出的问题是,历史是否应改变经济学家和经济史学家思考民粹主义的方式。我们使用 Müller 的定义,根据该定义,民粹主义是 "一种排他性的身份政治形式,因此对民主构成威胁"。我们提出了三个历史论点。首先,19 世纪晚期的美国民粹主义者并非民粹主义者。第二,民粹主义与反全球化情绪之间没有必然联系。第三,在涉及被正确或错误地描述为民粹主义的反对者的重要政策辩论中,经济学家有时会站在错误的一边。历史促使我们避免过于简单地看待民粹主义及其相关因素。
