“Yadav and Mukherjee show that populism isn’t just a strategy for mobilizing voters, but also one that comes with serious implications for economic governance. Their empirically sophisticated account of ‘dominant group voters’ compellingly links populism’s economic and cultural roots. They also remind us not to lose sight of right-wing populism’s global appeal, beyond prominent cases in advanced industrial democracies.”
