Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Phillips's hard-hitting analysis of the middle-class decline in the U.S. is a worthy sequel to The Politics of Rich and Poor , in which he predicted a populist revolt against Reagan-Bush policies that favored the rich. Here the onetime Republican campaign strategist spells out in painstaking detail how the Reagan-Bush agenda benefited the nation's wealthiest 1% at the expense of a middle class battered by inequitable taxes, deteriorating public services, increasingly unaffordable health care and education, shrinking employee benefits, job cutbacks and declining household net worth. Clinton tapped middle-class frustration using populist rhetoric, but unless his administration delivers on its promises to the eroding middle class while revitalizing the economy, the Democrats will be voted out of office in 1996, suggests Phillips. He stresses that the Democrats must replace yesteryear's internationalism with greater emphasis on domestic issues and must curb the abuses sponsored by financial elites and welfare statists alike. An urgently important book. Author tour.

From Library Journal
Phillips's first book, The Emerging Republican Majority (1969. o.p.), was called "the political bible of the Nixon era," and The Politics of Rich and Poor: Wealth and the American Electorate in the Reagan Af termath ( LJ 5/15/90) documented the economic consequences of the so-called "Reagan revolution." With comparative data and unrelenting force, his latest book demonstrates how "voodoo economics" shafted the middle class and put America's future at risk. The frustration of middle America resulted in the Clinton presidency. This latest book establishes Phillips as America's Aristotle, the first advocate of a strong middle class to assure a stable society. Boiling Point may become the political bible of the 1990s. It deserves the widest possible audience. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 9/15/92.
