Warnings about the &quotpopulist threat&quot to democracy and &quotauthoritarian&quot populism are now commonplace. However, as Emily B. Finley argues in The Ideology of Democratism, dismissing &quotpopulism&quot as anti-democratic is highly problematic. In effect, such arguments essentially reject the actual popular will in favor of a purely theoretical and abstract &quotwill of the people.&quotShe contends that the West has conceptualized democracy-not just its populist doppelg228nger-as an ideal that has all of the features of a thoroughgoing political ideology which she labels &quotdemocratism.&quot As she shows, this understanding of democracy, which constitutes an entire view of life and politics, has been and remains a powerful influence in America and leading Western European nations and their colonial satellites. Through a careful analysis of several of history's most vocal champions of democracy, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, John Rawls, and American neoconservatives and liberal internationalists, Finley identifies an interpretation of democracy that effectively transforms the meaning of &quotrule by the people&quot into nearly its opposite. Making use of democratic language and claiming to speak for the people, many politicians, philosophers, academics, and others advocate a more &quotcomplete&quot and &quotgenuine&quot form of democracy that in practice haslittle regard for the actual popular will.A heterodox argument that challenges the prevailing consensus of what democracy is and what it is supposed be, The Ideology of Democratism offers a timely and comprehensive assessment of the features and thrust of this powerful new view of democracy that has enchanted the West.<br>
