Examines the economic, geographical, and psychological conditions which farmer and labor parties in the United states act as vehicles for the expression of political discontent and to popularize issues which the major parties at first ignored but later adopted. Specifically examines the parties, platforms, geographic patterns and economics of protest voting, strategy and tactics, legal barriers, and economic and political discontent of protest voting.
