Good morning. We're covering "neopopulism" — as well as the death of Iran's president, Chinese social media and Taylor Swift versus the Beatles.
A flurry of bipartisanshipWashington, you often hear, is a place so polarized that our leaders barely get anything done. But that notion is not exactly consistent with the past few years. Consider these major political stories:
My editors recently asked me to make sense of this conundrum: A polarized country in which bipartisanship has somehow become normal. To do so, I spoke with Congress members from both parties, as well as Biden administration officials and outside experts. I emerged from the project believing that the U.S. was indeed a polarized country in many ways — but less polarized than people sometimes think.
On many high-profile issues, especially connected to economics, most Americans share a basic set of views. They favor both capitalism and government intervention to address the free market's shortcomings. Most Americans worry that big business has become too powerful. Most are skeptical of both free trade and high levels of immigration. Most are worried about China's rise and its increasing assertiveness. I describe this emerging consensus as neopopulism. For a quarter-century after the end of the Cold War, policymakers operated under a different consensus, known alternately as neoliberalism or the Washington Consensus. It held that market capitalism, left largely to its own devices, would bring prosperity to the U.S. and freedom to the rest of the world. Most Americans were always skeptical of the core components of the Washington Consensus. They worried about a world in which national borders meant less, and goods, capital and people could all move more freely. As it turned out, they were right to worry: Neoliberalism failed to deliver on many of its promises. Incomes for most Americans have grown slowly, and China and Russia have moved away from liberal democracy. Neopopulism is a response to these developments and to public opinion. To different degrees, both Democrats and Republicans — both Biden and Donald Trump — have adopted it. "There are new problems in the world, and a consensus is emerging about what those problems are," Oren Cass, who runs a conservative think tank, told me. Jake Sullivan, Biden's national security adviser, has put it this way: "The center of gravity itself is moving, and this is a good thing." The title of a recent book by the historian Gary Gerstle also captures the change: "The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order." In the essay that I've written, I trace the history of these ideas and describe where neopopulism may go from here. I also talk about the potential excesses of populism and some threats to the recent period of bipartisanship. You can find the article here — and you can leave a comment if you have thoughts. I look forward to hearing what you have to say and plan to reply to some of your comments later today.

One viewer at a screening, 18-year-old Barra Gassama, became teary-eyed while watching the movie. His brother died a decade ago trying to make it to Spain. "This reminds me so much of him," he said.
