New book by Thomas Frank.
...As veteran cultural critic Thomas Frank recounts in his scathing new book Pity the Billionaire: The Hard-Times Swindle and the Unlikely Comeback of the Right (Metropolitan), the chaos didn’t lead to full-scale, pitchfork-waving condemnation of laissez-faire ideology in America, as it did during the Great Depression. Instead, in a bewildering turn, large swaths of American society reacted with renewed fervour for unregulated, free-wheeling capitalism.
