"Forgotten Populists: When Farmers Turned Left to Save Democracy" by Steve Babson

Who were the original Populists? And how can today's politicians on the right and left both claim to be populists? Steve Babson joins me to talk about "Forgotten Populists: When Farmers Turned Left to Save Democracy" on this edition of "Some Books Considered."
Steve Babson is a labor educator and union activist. He received his doctorate in U.S. history from Wayne State University, where he worked as an instructor and extension program coordinator in the Labor Studies Center. He is the author of six previous books,.
