Parts 3 and 4 of the Shape of US Populism

Part 3: The progressive era
Part 4: A panic-stricken
Federal Reserve

The recent moves by the US Federal Reserve, amid fears of an economic depression, to inject liquidity into the credit market and to bail out banks and brokerage houses are looking more like fixes for drug addicts in advanced stages of abuse. But for neo-liberal market fundamentalists, the fear is not of an economic depression, but the populism that may follow it. - Henry C K Liu
