Name: Listen, liberal
Author: Thomas Frank

or what ever happened to the party of the people?

KORTE INHOUD

Now with a new afterword, Thomas Frank's powerful analysis offers the best diagnosis to date of the liberal malady. Drawing on years of research and firsthand reporting, Frank points out that the Democrats have over the last decades increasingly abandoned their traditional goals: expanding opportunity, fighting for social justice, and ensuring that workers get a fair deal. With sardonic wit and lacerating logic, he uncovers the corporate and cultural elitism that have largely eclipsed the party's old working middle-class commitment. And he warns that the Democrats' only chance of regaining their health and averting a future of everincreasing inequality is a return to their historic faith.
"A must-read." (Naomi Klein)
"A serious political critique (and) thoroughly entertaining...
Frank delights in skewering the sacred cows of coastal liberalism." (The New York Times Book Review)
