What explains this phenomenon? Two theories are examined here. Perhaps the most widely-held view of mass support for populism -- the economic insecurity perspective--emphasizes the consequences of profound changes transforming the workforce and society in post-industrial economies. Alternatively, the cultural backlash thesis suggests that support can be explained as a retro reaction by once-predominant sectors of the population to progressive value change.</p><p><br>Sponsors<br>Seminar on the State and Capitalism since 1800</p><h3 class="event__sidebar-box__heading">CONTACT</h3><div class="event__sidebar-contact__person"><div class="event__sidebar-contact__details event__sidebar-contact__details--has-image"><div class="event__sidebar-contact__name"><a class="dark-link" href="https://ces.fas.harvard.edu/people/000059-peter-a-hall">Peter A.
