The Politics of Rich and Poor: Wealth and the American Electorate in the Reagan Aftermath

The enormous concentration of wealth in the United States during the 1980s--most of it in the hands of the top 1% of the population--will provoke what Phillips calls a watershed change in American politics. His masterly analysis portrays the public's growing concern over this unequal distribution of wealth and the Republican policies that enhanced the imbalance. A national bestseller in hardcover.
