Description
Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich by Kevin Phillips explores the complex relationship between wealth and power in America over more than two centuries. From the American Revolution to the present day, Phillips examines how great wealth has been accumulated, its shifting sources, and its impact on the national interest. The book reveals how the rich and politically powerful have frequently worked together to create or perpetuate privilege, often at the expense of the middle and lower classes. With a focus on the ongoing American saga of great wealth, Phillips provides a bold analysis of present-day America and illuminates the dangerous politics that go with excessive concentration of wealth. Through its intriguing chapters on history, Wealth and Democracy sheds light on the ongoing struggle between those who hold power and those who do not, and what this means for the future of democracy in America.
