Ingo Schmidt argues that we're not so much seeing a shift in politics from right to left, but rather that populism is replacing the old neoliberal orthodoxy of recent decades. Ingo Schmidt currently teaches Labour Studies at Athabasca University. He's also an organizer with the World Peace Forum Society in Vancouver and a columnist for a socialist monthly paper back in his native Germany.
