What's the Matter With America? : The Resistable Rise of the American Right

Thomas Frank

4.9/5 (21510 ratings)

Description:With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank turns his eye on the 'thirty-year backlash' - the common man's revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment. He charts the Republican Party's success in building the most unnatural of alliances: between blue-collar Midwesterners and Wall Street business interests; between workers and bosses; between populists and right-wingers.Taking the state of Kansas as a paradigm, Frank describes how a place famous for its radicalism became one of the most conservative states in the union. He also seeks to answer some broader riddles: why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? And whatever happened to middle-American progressivism? Frank reveals the true story, showing how voters have been persuaded to elevate 'values' and down-home qualities above hard questions of policy.A brilliant analysis, and funny to boot, What's the Matter with America? presents a critical assessment of the state of America today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
