Instead, outsiders who accommodate capitalists often prevail. \u003ci\u003eCapitalist Outsiders\u003c\/i\u003e revisits celebrated exemplars of Latin American populism in Mexico and Venezuela to shed light on this phenomenon. It reveals how anticorruption campaigns boosted Mexico's neoliberal-era capitalist outsider by drowning out salacious corporate scandals; how Venezuela's apparently enlightened capitalist outsiders of the 1940s relied on segregationist, punitive labor relations; and how corporate insiders of Venezuela's neoliberal political establishment unwittingly validated the anticapitalist Hugo Chávez as the true outsider. It weaves together these case studies to reveal an unlikely common origin for capitalist outsiders in both countries: their sequential insertion into global oil production and Mexico's early twentieth-century radical oil workers. \u003ci\u003eCapitalist Outsiders\u003c\/i\u003e moves beyond cataloging \"populist\" traits and tactics or devising the institutions that might avert their rise. Instead, it specifies the distinct social bases of capitalist vs. anticapitalist outsiders. It exposes how a nation's earlier incorporation into the capitalist world economy casts a long shadow over neoliberal-era outsider politics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeslie C.
