Eric Protzer, a research fellow at Harvard’s Growth Lab, recently co-authored an interesting and timely book titled “Reclaiming Populism: How Economic Fairness Can Win Back Disenchanted Voters.” He highlighted how economic unfairness and social mobility were far more influential than income inequality in creating the appearance of a “rigged system,” while explaining that many factors entered into this complicated discussion such as globalization, authoritarianism vs. democracy, anti-elitism, anti-populism, international trade agreements and media misinformation and disinformation.
