A Book For You
I've read it, I enjoyed it, would you like it? The book is The Wrecking Crew by Thomas Frank. His previous book "What's the Matter with Kansas" explained why people voted against their own best interests. In his new book disucsses the rise to power of the conservative movement even though its goals and interests don't serve the the majority of voters. How they keep the government broken and what it all means for the coming election.
And the winner is, Bill W.

My apologies to my good friends in other countries but the cost of shipments to other destinations is simply too high.

Frank's "What's The Matter..." and Perlstein's "Before The Storm" both changed how I think of politics. And now we have Perlstein's "Nixonland" and the new "Wrecking Crew." Excellent brain food all around. Would love to win your copy.
