A careful study of every populist episode since 1900 finds catastrophic consequences, which play out slowly. On average, incomes fall behind by nearly 15% over 15 years. For the U.S., this is a cost of about $13k per person per year. Over a lifetime, that's million bucks.

Hertling: When you saw Trump talking about how this is Biden’s war, saying it could have been prevented if Zelensky had just done X, Y, or Z — it’s ludicrous. This is a war that Putin has been planning and carried out on his own.
