Term coined by Earl Browder, head US Communist, describing heretical idea capitalism and socialism could get along.https://twitter.com/JamilSmith/status/771023296326463490 …
Am I right in thinking Seymour Martin Lipset played big role in popularizing the term?

(I'm sitting in the library right now..) Lipset also titled a book with the phrase, but that was long after it was in common use.
