Can populism be progressive?

The weekly podcast from the New Economics Foundation:

WEEKLY ECONOMICS PODCAST: CAN POPULISM BE PROGRESSIVE?

LATEST EPISODE OF OUR AWARD WINNING PODCAST





Jeremy Corbyn and Donald Trump; Erdogan in Turkey and the Five Star Movement in Italy; Podemos in Spain and Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines. All of them have been described as populists. But what does populism’ actually mean? How can it include people with wildly different ideologies under the same umbrella? Is it possible to be a progressive populist – and even if it is, should progressives use that label?
Ayeisha Thomas-Smith is joined by academic and writer Eliane Glaser, and Michael Walker from Novara Media.
