A definitive guide to the most misunderstood ideas in modern politics.
The words we use shape the world we live in – so it matters when we get them wrong. This series, from the creators of the chart-topping Origin Story podcast, sheds much-needed light on the true meanings and surprising stories behind some of our most used and abused political terms.
Where did these terms originate? Who coined them – and why? How have their meanings evolved over time? And what do they mean to people today? These small guides to (very) big ideas are an antidote to confusion and conspiracy, bringing clarity back to the conversations we have about politics.
Centrism explores the history of a term from its origins to the contested ground it occupies today.
