The roots of modern populism in America go back to the early 1990s with rightwing populist leaders such as Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot. There were many issues driving these movements, but the biggest was the issue of trade. Move forward to the end of the decade when leftwing populism manifested itself during the World Trade protest in Seattle in 1999, and then in the Ralph Nader campaign a year later.
