Populism Around the World

On this episode of Trending Globally [https://soundcloud.com/watsoninstitute/sets/trending-globally], Sarah Baldwin speaks with Sam Wilkin, an economist, political risk consultant, and fellow at the Watson Institute [https://watson.brown.edu/people/visiting/wilkin]. In 2015 Sam started to work on a book about the history of populist movements around the world. At the time people weren’t too interested in what he was saying. Then Donald Trump was elected President, and people became very interested. His book History Repeating: Why Populists Rise and Government’s Fall [https://profilebooks.com/history-repeating.html], came out in March of 2018.
