Guest Podcast Trending Globally: Populism

We came across a great podcast produced by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. It's called Trending Globally [watson.brown.edu/news/trending-globally]. The weekly podcast features insight on today's critical global challenges. So today on Policy 360: a special episode from Trending Globally.

The episode features Sam Wilkin, an economist, political risk consultant, and fellow at the Watson Institute [watson.brown.edu/people/visiting/wilkin]. In 2015 Sam started to work on a book about the history of populist movements around the world. At the time people weren’t too interested in what he was saying. Then Donald Trump was elected President, and people became very interested. His book History Repeating: Why Populists Rise and Government’s Fall [profilebooks.com/history-repeating.html], came out in March of 2018.
