Forum Podcast – “Populist Economic Policy” with Magistro and Menaldo

Guests: Beatrice Magistro, PhD Candidate, and Professor Victor Menaldo, both from the Political Science Department at the University of Washington.

 

In this episode, Beatrice Magistro and Victor Menaldo make the case that populist political actors pursue similar economy policies — no matter their professed ideological persuasion. Populist economic policies often produce disastrous outcomes, especially for the very people that these politicians claim to champion.
