A quick note to say I have a new book review

I recently published a book review of Catherine Fieschi's Populocracy: The Tyranny of Authenticity and the Rise of Populism. This is a great work that really digs into the psychology and ideology of populism. I often thought of populism as a sort of politics of the id - a demand that politics and political reality conform to some sort of willed impulse. Fieschi explains how that gets translated into authenticity, taking the idea much farther than I've managed. The review is here: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2020/05/04/book-review-populocracy-the-tyranny-of-authenticity-and-the-rise-of-populism-by-catherine-fieschi/
