4.0 out of 5 starsTHIS is what American politics is all about. Everything else is divide-and-conquer distraction
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2009
This book has its faults--repetition, extraneous detail--but the basic message is the most important one in American politics today: among America's elites, there is no "culture war," no "conservative versus liberal." They have a concrete agenda, and it's all about money. Everything else is political theater. That this message is so seldom communicated makes this book all the more important. Bottom line: The rich are united around a purely economic agenda, and so those of us who have to work for a living should be, too. That's the author's message. Read this book and stop thinking in terms of red versus blue. Because the real political situation is the haves against the have-nots. And compared to what the super-rich haves have, what you and I have is diddly.
