Challenging conventional political and scholarly wisdom, Mark Tushnet and Bojan
Bugaric make a powerful case that populism is the solution to rather than the cause
of contemporary democratic ills. Power to the People details how authoritarians
masquerading as populists are perverting an authentic form of democratic politics,
and that the numerous populist reforms championed by the populist left throughout
the globe are at least if not substantially more democratic than the contemporary
constitutional status quo. Much handwringing on the crisis of constitutional democracy
will need substantial reconsideration in light of this major work."
