My friend Rita read my newsletter from Wednesday and sent me Thomas Edsal’s column on a similar theme that appeared in Wednesday’s New York Times. Definitely worth reading and sharing, if you have a Times subscription (or can otherwise get past the pay firewall). Edsall summarizes here a lot of recent academic work on the relationship between the growth of right-wing populism in Europe and America and status anxiety among less-educated, less-skilled working-class whites.
