Summarizes how Populists formed an alternative political economy by challenging laissez-faire excesses while still defending private property and competitive capitalism. Explores comparisons to Adam Smith’s “invisible hand,” argues for government’s protective welfare role, and connects Populist doctrine to the economic pressures of railroads, trusts, and the Panic of

Pollack New Brun swzckNJ Rutgers Unversity Press,1990,229 pages,$40(hardcover)  \nRevrewed by Gene Wunderluch  \nOne hundred years ago the Populist movementachieved its political zenith in forming the PopulistParty Officlally the“Peoples Party of the UnitedStates of Amerca,\"the Populst Party was founded inCincinnati,Ohio,by discontented farmers who saw thelberating promise of capitalism broken by monopolesin transportation and finance In 1892,the PopulistParty nominated and !an James Weaver of Iowa forpresident and James Field of Virginia for vice presl-dent Although the party garnered 22 electoral votesin the election,its real achrevements were its chal-lenge to the uniestricted economics of laussez faine anda platform that later became mainstream policy  \nThe core of Pollack's analysis is his comparison of thepolitical economy of Adam Smith with that of the Pop-ulsts More precisely,his comparison is of Smithianand Populst economics as percejved by selectedspokesmen or by himself Over a broad range of princl-ples,the liberal emphasis on individual autonomy(“internal economic activation”)was common to boththe Smithian and Populist positions Populists wereskeptical,howevel,of the self-correction mechansmsof the 18th century model Pollack quotes from HenryLloyd “Liberty produces wealth,and wealth destroysliberty\"(p 131)Competition is desirable as anengine of efficiency,but competition fauls when it leadsto restricting combinations  \nNorman Pollack,a much published scholar of Populsmin America,relates the movement to the economics ofcapitalism In other books,he has addressed pohtical,legal,and moral issues inheient in the movement InThe Humane Economy,he illuminates the role of Pop-uhsm in economie poltcy,showing how Populst pol-1cles may have saved capitalism in America fromdestruction by its own excesses Populsm may well beone of the most notable contributions of America'sfarmers to the Nation's economic policy  \nThe Populst position rested heavily on independence,individual initiative,and private property to stimulatedevelopment in the capitalist system The Populistposition did not oppose capitalsm but encouraged itscompetstive features The role of government was notto replace private initiative but to see that it couldfunction in the widest possible arena Pollack writes\"A1med with the benefit of d century of capitalisticpractice unavailable to Smth,they [Populists]ques-tioned the adequacy of a self-adjusting mechanismunless it was within a state framework”(p 139)  \nIn reading Pollack,it is helpful to recall the economieconditions of Amenea in the late 1800's Ag11-culturally,the countiy was in the final stages of settle-ment,still experiencing the growing pains of ex-panding production and marketing Ralroads,them-selves in financial and organizational turmoil,were keyto marketing the products of a commercial agricultureThe Panic of 1873 reflected a general condition ofgrowth,outrunning the capaeity of economic andfinanclal institutions To accommodate the rapid cap1-talization of the economy,new instruments of central-1zation and power arose The first trust,Standard Oil,was formed by John D Rockefeller in 1879 Farmers,at the bottom of an economic pyramid topped byfinance and transportation,felt exploited and deniedthe fruits of the free enterprise system  \nIn his interpretation
