Winner-Take-All Politics
A groundbreaking work that identifies the real culprit behind one of the great economic crimes of our time: the growing inequality of incomes between the vast majority of Americans and the richest of the rich.
Winner-Take-All Politics — part revelatory history, part political analysis, part intellectual journey- shows how a political system that traditionally has been responsive to the interests of the middle class has been hijacked by the super rich. In doing so, it not only changes how we think about American politics, but also points the way to rebuilding a democracy that serves the interests of the many rather than just those of the wealthy few.
