What is fascism and what is populism? What are their connections in history and theory, and how should we address their significant differences? What does it mean when pundits call Donald Trump a fascist, or label as populist politicians who span left and right such as Hugo Chavez, Juan Peron, Rodrigo Duterte, and Marine Le Pen? Federico Finchelstein, one of the leading scholars of fascist and populist ideologies, synthesizes their history in order to answer these questions and offer a thoughtful perspective on how we might apply the concepts today. While they belong to the same history and are often conflated, fascism and populism actually represent distinct political and historical trajectories. Drawing on an expansive history of transnational fascism and postwar populist movements, Finchelstein gives us insightful new ways to think about the state of democracy and political culture on a global scale.

什么是法西斯主义，什么是民粹主义？它们在历史和理论上有什么联系，我们应该如何处理它们的重大差异？当专家们称唐纳德-特朗普为法西斯主义者，或将乌戈-查韦斯、胡安-贝隆、罗德里戈-杜特尔特和玛丽娜-勒庞等横跨左右的民粹主义政治家贴上标签，这意味着什么？法西斯主义和民粹主义意识形态的主要学者之一Federico Finchelstein综合了它们的历史，以回答这些问题，并对我们今天如何应用这些概念提供了一个深思熟虑的观点。虽然法西斯主义和民粹主义属于同一段历史，而且经常被混为一谈，但它们实际上代表了不同的政治和历史轨迹。在跨国法西斯主义和战后民粹主义运动的广阔历史基础上，芬切尔斯坦为我们提供了富有洞察力的新方法来思考全球范围内的民主和政治文化状况。
