Listen, Liberal : Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People? (9781250118134)

A SCATHING LOOK AT THE STANDARD-BEARERS OF LIBERAL POLITICS--A BOOK THAT ASKS: WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH DEMOCRATS?

Hailed as "the most prescient book" of the year, Listen, Liberal accurately described what ailed the Democratic Party even before the election of 2016 made their weaknesses obvious. It is the story of how the "Party of the People" detached itself from its historic constituency among average Americans and chose instead to line up with the winners of our new economic order. 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- and middle-class commitment. And he warns that the Democrats' only chance of regaining their health and averting a future of ever-increasing inequality is a return to their historic faith.
