Robert Reich says that Brexit and the Trump victory happened because the economic recovery after the 2008 crash wasn't quite a big hit (contrary to what we all might have hoped for).

Now that may be due to changing economic realities, i think that people blamed transnational entities (EU, NAFTA, TTIP) and the elites that supported these developments for what happened. The only entity that could change the status quo were the populists (due to the neo-liberal consensus that erased any real differences between right and left) [1]. Now the backlash against the populists might come either from a reformed left or from a reformed right, go figure.

I don't think that financial support by a moneybag could have changed the global picture in any significant way. For every right wing sponsor there is one on the left.

[1] in Britain they had Boris Johnson, who played a major role throughout the referendum campaign.
