The literature on the 21st century 'populist turn' has become truly library-filling by now. Yet, surprisingly, the political economy of populism remains vastly understudied. Magnus Feldmann and Glenn Morgan's edited volume makes an important contribution to start covering this gap. The interdisciplinary approach adopted, and the broad range of empirical cases presented allow the reader to gain invaluable insights into the variegated nature of populist economics and
the diverse ways in which they affect businesses and how the latter react to them. The book will provide scholars of the political economy of populism with some important answers, much inspiration, and countless avenues for further research.
