The People, No by Thomas Frank
A Brief History of Anti-Populism
A trenchant critique of how intellectuals, journalists, and political elites have consistently dismissed and worked to suppress popular democratic movements, tracing a long history from the Gilded Age to the present. It shows how anti‑populist attitudes—framed as concern for expertise, order, or stability—have justified sidelining ordinary voters, empowering corporate and technocratic interests, and producing widespread political disaffection that ultimately destabilizes democratic life.
