Readers of this website are aware of the criticism that neopopulism.org has of the wikipedia definition of "neopopulism." Recently, dictionary.reference.com came up with a more reasonable definition of neopopulism. The definition from dictionary.reference.com can be found here. The definition isn't perfect, however. Neopopulism.org points out that the origin of the word given is 1975-1980, but neopopulism goes back to 1920's U.S.S.R. Neopopulist was a phrase used in 1920's Soviet Union to describe economists who were critical of the centralized plannig involved in Soviet Collectivized Farming -- particularly in the Ukraine. The definition from dictionary.reference.com is reprinted below to show its vast superiority over the current Wikipedia definition: ne-o-pop-u-list
1975-80 Related forms: ne⋅o⋅pop⋅u⋅lism, noun
