Winner-Take-All Politics

Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson argue that the rise of extreme inequality in the US is the result of deliberate political choices and the influence of organized interests. They show how policy changes have favored the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. This book is a powerful critique of the political economy of the US and a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of policy and inequality. It is well-researched, persuasive, and highly relevant to the ongoing debate about the future of the American economy and the health of its democracy.
