Skilfully combining theoretical analysis with a myriad of empirical references from numerous historical and geographical contexts, he offers a critical reading of the existing literature on populism, demonstrating its dependency on the theorists of “mass psychology,” such as Taine and Freud. \u003ci\u003eOn Populist Reason\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for all those interested in the question of political identities in the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErnesto Laclau\u003c\/b\u003e (1935–2014) was Professor of Political Theory in the Department of Government, University of Essex, and Distinguished Professor for Humanities and Rhetorical Studies at Northwestern University.
