This book reflects on key questions raised by recent movements and
statements about the status of American politics and polity from
the Tea Party to Occupy, from the 1% to the 47% to the 99% that is
the rest of us. These questions have also been raised by previous
generations of labor, farmer, socialist, anarchist, and populist
protestors and critics: Who owns and rules America beyond the
pretense of democratic popular governance? Why does it matter that
the nation s economy, society, culture, and politics are torn by
stark class disparities and a concentration of wealth in the hands
of a privileged few? What is the price of that savage inequality?
And what can we the people do about it in defense of democracy, a
livable natural environment, and the common good of all? Along the
way, this book sharpens readers sense of who the US oligarchy are;
how their fortunes have changed over the course of American
history; how they live and think; and how to detect and de-cloak
them. Paul Street is a master at revealing what lies beneath the
surfaces of American politics and society and bringing his readers
to the forefront of action."
