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.
