Which is the fatal flaw of Hofstadter's Age of Reform on Populism, that is, the actual historical movement of farmers in the late 19th Century which tried to exert democratic control over the nation's money supply and which birthed the People's Party. It's telling that Age of Reform never once references the Omaha platform or considers the social conditions which would give rise to such a political program.
