5.0 out of 5 stars Falling deeper into the political rabbit hole.
Great book discussing the effects of globalization upon the working class in American society. Piven and Cloward effectively discuss the weakening of the working class, the disproportional influence of businesses, corporations, and other capital-holders upon the governing process, the attack upon welfare relief programs, the impacts of poor people's political movements...

5.0 out of 5 stars Falling deeper into the political rabbit hole., April 2, 2002
This review is from: The Breaking of the American Social Compact (Paperback)
Great book discussing the effects of globalization upon the working class in American society. Piven and Cloward effectively discuss the weakening of the working class, the disproportional influence of businesses, corporations, and other capital-holders upon the governing process, the attack upon welfare relief programs, the impacts of poor people's political movements. Piven and Cloward assert that the business class is weakening the civil rights and attacking the relief programs that protect the poor by fueling popular myths about such recipients.
