“A major danger will continue to threaten the future of liberty in 2025. It is not a new threat but one that has become more pressing since the rise of populism in the world over the past three decades, including with the election of Donald Trump. … Populism of the right, which is more prevalent in Europe, is no less dangerous than populism of the left, which has been the main variety in Latin America. But the threat I want to emphasize is not populism as such, which I have treated elsewhere (see notably my Independent Review article ‘The Impossibility of Populism’), but its frequent identification with what journalists often label ‘the libertarian right.'” (12/31/24)
