Description
Proposes a definition of demagoguery based on her study of groups and cultures that have talked themselves into disastrously bad decisions. Patricia Roberts-Miller argues for seeing demagoguery as a way for people to participate in public discourse, and not necessarily as populist or heavily emotional.
