The sudden rise of populist movements—sometimes seen as noble advocacy, sometimes seen as belligerent bullying—has been a recent phenomenon in American political history. But the truth is, it’s nothing new to world history.
What can we expect from a political climate ruled by movements that rebel against both the establishment—and each other? Find out what lies ahead for a nation reviving ancient tensions in this exclusive report from Hoover senior fellow and world-renowned historian Victor Davis Hanson.
Hanson explains the fascinating history of how both factions trace their roots back to Roman times—the urban radicals who favored equality, and the rural traditionalists who favored liberty.
