520 "A spirited examination of why what's good for American
business elites and what's good for Americans have become
misaligned"--Front jacket flap.
520 In the past, government and business were as much partners
as rivals, resulting in broad-based growth and healthy
social development. But advocates of anti-government
market fundamentalism are intent on scrapping the
instrument of nearly a century of unprecedented economic
and social progress. Hacker and Pierson examine why what's
good for American business elites and what's good for
Americans have become misaligned.
