Abstract

Abstract Populist responses to matters of social concern are considered in a framework like that of Acemoglu and Robinson’s ‘narrow corridor’ that supports liberty and justice. We discuss the risk that such responses could result in a country being pushed out of this narrow corridor—and, if so, with what long-run consequences. We conclude that a political system of ‘checks and balances’ can play a key role in keeping the society within the narrow corridor; but it is incumbent on the existing political system to confront the issues of populist concern so as to come up with creative solutions.

民粹主义和自由与正义的“狭窄走廊”

民粹主义对社会问题的反应是在一个类似阿西莫格鲁和罗宾逊支持自由和正义的“狭窄走廊”的框架中考虑的。我们讨论了这样的应对措施可能导致一个国家被挤出这条狭窄走廊的风险，以及如果是这样的话，会带来什么样的长期后果。我们的结论是，“制衡”的政治制度可以在将社会保持在狭窄走廊内发挥关键作用;但现有的政治体制有责任直面民粹主义所关注的问题，从而提出创造性的解决方案。
