In this first weekly audio programme of On Our Radar, Adrian Monck looks at the history, the causes and the consequences of populism. On our Radar this week draws from three articles: An excerpt from a political pamphlet by JP Kay, a doctor in Manchester, England at the heart of the first industrial revolution, published in 1832. A paper which looks at the causes of the rises and falls in populism in politics: The political aftermath of financial crises: Going to extremes, and A piece by an Irish academic published this week about what happens when populists are put in power.
