For the second episode in our new series on the Ideas Behind American Elections, David and Gary discuss 1828: the first great populist election, which saw the arrival of Andrew Jackson and a new style of politics in the White House. What made Jackson different from his predecessors? How did this election reinvent the American party system? And why were Jackson's arguments with Vice-President John Calhoun about economic tariffs so toxic that they brought the country close to civil war?

As cidades brasileiras são um campo em disputa — e se é na dimensão urbana que ocorrem muitas das opressões e preconceitos, também é nela que a população se organiza, trava lutas sociais e encontra soluções para a redução das desigualdades. Bianca Tavolari, editora da seção As Cidades e as Coisas na Quatro Cinco Um, e Joice Berth, arquiteta, escritora e autora de Se a Cidade Fosse Nossa, lançado Paz e Terra, discutem neste episódio a vida em metrópoles como São Paulo.

This week’s Great Political Fiction is Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons (1862), the definitive novel about the politics – and emotions – of intergenerational conflict. How did Turgenev manage to write a wistful novel about nihilism? What made Russian politics in the early 1860s so chock-full of frustration? Why did Turgenev’s book infuriate his contemporaries – including Dostoyevsky?
More from the LRB:
Pankaj Mishra on the disillusionment of Alexander Herzen
'"Emancipation", he concluded, "has finally proved to be as insolvent as redemption".'
Julian Barnes on Turgenev and Flaubert
‘When the two of them meet, they are already presenting themselves as elderly men in their early forties (Turgenev asserts that after 40 the basis of life is renunciation).’
