内容简介
······
Donald Trump, Silvio Berlusconi, Marine Le Pen, Hugo Chávez—populists are on the rise across the globe. But what exactly is populism? Should everyone who criticizes Wall Street or Washington be called a populist? What precisely is the difference between right-wing and left-wing populism? Does populism bring government closer to the people or is it a threat to democracy? Who are "the people" anyway and who can speak in their name? These questions have never been more pressing.
In this groundbreaking volume, Jan-Werner Müller argues that at populism's core is a rejection of pluralism. Populists will always claim that they and they alone represent the people and their true interests. Müller also shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, populists can govern on the basis of their claim to exclusive moral representation of the people: if populists have enough power, they will end up creating an authoritarian state that excludes all those not considered part of the proper "people." The book proposes a number of concrete strategies for how liberal democrats should best deal with populists and, in particular, how to counter their claims to speak exclusively for "the silent majority" or "the real people."
Analytical, accessible, and provocative, What Is Populism? is grounded in history and draws on examples from Latin America, Europe, and the United States to define the characteristics of populism and the deeper causes of its electoral successes in our time.

评论 ······
对morality（以及“fraud”）的关注、antipluralism、use of "the people"印证了Trump4年的总统任期内的行为和话语。对于十九世纪的Populist Party的分析很有意思，但关于为什么populism能够起到作用的分析太少了。
民粹主义真的那么在乎moral claim，we people吗，像书里强调的？其他原因了，比如经济上？结论那部分那样设计蛮好的。
只字未提，心照不宣（。
民粹主义是一种道德化的政治想象。发明出虚幻、内部没有任何冲突、统一的“人民的利益”，然后声称只有自己能代表这种利益，从而排斥其他任何质疑
民粹主义因此是反对多元化的、排斥不同的政治表达、污名化批评和竞争。因为只有自己能代表人民，那么反对者要么是背叛人民的腐败精英，要么是外国的敌对势力
民粹主义不会更贴近民众，他们只是利用民众的概念。民粹主义支持者并不都是低收入，他们只相信多元社会中，自己的声音在衰…
