En bok om bl a tyveriet av et begrep og en bevegelse helt motsatt forstått av dagens media og politikere. At ordets demonisering fortsatt består, forteller hvilkr krefter som fortsatt dominerer våre hoder. I 1891 i Omaha startet et alternativ til Demokratene som den gang styrte i Sør. «Equal rights to everybody, special privilege to none!» Historien går helt tilbake til inspirasjon fra Thomas Jefferson og Thomas Paine - hhv grunnlovsfar og forslagsstiller om jordreform. Og forløperne var bl a en kooperativ bevegelse The Farmers’ Alliance (FA). I Sør var bøndene fattige, hadde kreditter hos kjøpmenn som gjennom kreditten styrte hva bøndene skulle dyrke. Tiden var fylt med korrupsjon, utbytting, konkurser, kjøp av politiske seter og full frihet til jernbane-eierne. Da deflasjonen med synkende priser på landbruksvarer inntrådte, var katsstrofen igang for bøndene. Forslaget fra FA ble:» Let’s find out why we are getting ruined, and then let’s get together and do something about it!»
I en valgkamp der elitene brukte rekordmengder penger og andre ressurser for å hindre folk og demokratiet, finner vi lærestykker for dagens politiske kamper.

I'm not sure how his head didn't explode from cognitive dissonance as he wrote this book. I am well over half-way done, and I'm trying to connect my own experiences with politics (beginning in the late 70s during the Carter era) to his writing. I can't. I realize that he's focussed on Populism, but heck no.
