The Populist Temptation: Economic Grievance and Political Reaction in the Modern EraPopulism, on both the right and the left, has spread like wildfire throughout Europe and the United States and is making inroads in other parts of the world.

Populism, on both the right and the left, has spread like wildfire throughout Europe and the United States and is making inroads in other parts of the world. In simplest terms, populism is a political ideology that vilifies elites, minorities and foreigners while lionizing "the people." It reached its apogee in the U.S. with the election of Donald Trump but has been a force in Europe since the Great Recession and the refugee crisis. We now see the rise of leaders with populist tendencies everywhere from Brazil to Turkey.

In The Populist Temptation, Barry Eichengreen places this global resurgence of populism in its historical context. Populists have always thrived, he observes, in times of poor economic performance. Populism feeds on rising inequality, which augments the ranks of those left behind and fans dissatisfaction with the economic status quo. It responds to rapid economic change that heightens insecurity.

These economic developments, Eichengreen shows, give rise to populist reactions when they highlight the divergent interests of the people and the elite. Banking and financial crises are a case in point: the financiers who are the precipitating agents of such crises are card-carrying members of the elite, and are seen as profiting at the expense of the people.

But populism is also a protest against the declining influence of the traditions, beliefs and community of once-dominant groups. It is a reaction against the challenge posed by immigrants and minorities to the people as a homogeneous, well-defined entity. Populists capitalizing on these feelings appeal to a glorious, mythologized past grounded in the collective traditions of that once-dominant majority. They invoke nationalism and criticize politicians who embrace diversity, open borders and equal rights. Populism has particular appeal, Eichengreen shows, when these identity politics and economic grievances come together.

There is no magic solution to these concerns, but Eichengreen points to a starting place: strengthening welfare state policies that make for greater equality of opportunity and social cohesion. Comparing Europe with the United States, he shows that America's patchwork welfare state is less well equipped to deal with the fallout from globalization and technical change and the growing distance between social groups. This reality will be hard to change, since America's limited welfare state reflects the country's historically-rooted suspicion of big government. It is therefore in the United States, Eichengreen concludes, where the siren song of populism is most alluring--and dangerous.

Easy to use and it actually works
So I live in Florida, taking care of your skin is super important. This is actually a great product, I actually use it to set my make up on the rare occasions that I wear any but on days that I don't This product is still great. It's not heavy or leaves a white cast like some of the other sun protection does. It doesn't leave my skin greasy but it helps to feel moisturized. Honestly I just spray it as I'm about to leave the house and I'm good to go. Plus it actually smells good, like very light tropical beach vibe. Best part it's never caused me to break out on my skin because I have very sensitive skin.

Ulta Recommendation That Actually Delivered
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was originally recommended this product by a representative at Ulta—and it completely changed the game! It’s super easy to apply, smells great in my opinion, and gives me a refreshing, lightweight feel without the heaviness of typical facial sunscreens.

Great scent and feel
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Not sure I understand the blue light feature of this, but I love how this feels during a hot day! I usually carry this when I go to the pool with the kids and use it to reapply after getting out of the water and watching them from the pool deck. I burn fairly easily and haven't burned using this, leading me to believe that it functions well. I like the smell and I like the cooling mist on hot summer days! One quibble, it does leak if not tightened carefully!

Solid Option for a Sunscreen Spray! Nice Even Mist!
Item Package Quantity: 1
I’ve been using the Naked Sundays Hydrating Glow Mist SPF 50+ and overall I’m really impressed. One thing I was a little concerned about at first is that it does contain alcohol, so I expected it might be drying. Surprisingly, it hasn’t dried my skin out the way other similar products have, which is a big plus for me. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering. It doesn’t have that harsh sunscreen smell that some sprays do, so it’s easy to reapply throughout the day without feeling like you’re coating yourself in fragrance. In terms of finish, it’s not completely non greasy, but it’s also not overly heavy. I would call it slightly greasy, but noticeably less so than most sunscreen sprays I’ve tried. It gives a bit of a glow without feeling suffocating on the skin. One of my favorite things about this product is the spray itself. The mist is very fine and even, which makes application quick and easy without leaving blotchy spots. Overall, it’s a solid option if you want a convenient SPF mist that feels lighter than most, smells good, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling dried out.
