Howe's autobiographical record was originally published in 1925. Out of print for some time, this book is now again available,...

Si el populismo no ha muerto, si está "insoportablemente vivo", es porque funciona. Y su eficacia se debe, en buena medida, a que ofrece una forma convincente de explicar el mundo, reflejar las preocupaciones y los miedos de los ciudadanos y proponerles una salida concreta. En otras palabras, sostiene un discurso, una historia con héroes y villanos que da sentido a una realidad que, en el siglo XXI, parece haberlo perdido. Esto vale tanto para Hugo...
