Throughout Europe, populist parties – from the right-wing United Kingdom Independence Party to the far-left Syriza in Greece – seek a return to the ostensibly simpler and happier times of national control and closed borders. In the US, a prominent strain of jurisprudence defends the “original intent” of the Constitution’s framers, while Republicans are shifting toward isolationism and Democrats are denouncing free-trade agreements.
怀旧也成为左右许多国家国内事务的主旋律。在欧洲各国，民粹主义党派——从右翼英国独立党到激进的希腊左翼联盟——都在追求回归表面单纯快乐的国家管制和边界封闭。在美国，一系列著名的法律体系捍卫着宪法制定者们所谓的“原意”，而共和党越来越向孤立主义靠拢、民主党则不断谴责自由贸易协议。
