This abridged edition of Goodwyn’s classic chronicles the rise and fall of the Populist movement in the late 19th century, which emerged in response to the perceived injustices of the American political and economic systems. Goodwyn argues that the movement was a populist uprising against the monopolistic practices of big business, and that it represented a fundamental challenge to the established power structures of the time. The book provides a detailed analysis of the strategies and tactics employed by the Populists, as well as the factors that led to their decline. The Populist Moment is widely regarded as a classic of American history and a valuable resource for understanding the roots of contemporary political and economic issues.
