"Employing a political theory perspective, Moffitt elucidates populism?s affinities and tensions with major left- and right-wing ideologies and develops novel insights into reactionary populists? opportunistic invocation of liberal values."
Kurt Weyland, University of Texas at Austin
"The first book to analyse populism in its broader ideological context by relating it to nationalism, socialism, liberalism and democracy, Benjamin Moffitt?s accessible and concise Populism is essential reading for anyone speaking, thinking or writing about this phenomenon."
Cas Mudde, University of Georgia
