One presents the Great Recession as a "stress test" of the American political system by analyzing the 2008 election and the impact of Barack Obama's "New New Deal" on the economic fortunes of the rich, middle class, and poor. The other assesses the politics of inequality in the wake of the Occupy Wall Street movement, the 2012 election, and the partisan gridlock of Obama's second term. Larry Bartels offers a sobering account of the barriers to change posed by partisan ideologies and the political power of the wealthy. He also provides new analyses of tax policy, partisan differences in economic performance, the struggle to raise the minimum wage, and inequalities in congressional representation. President Obama identified inequality as "the defining challenge of our time." Unequal Democracy is the definitive account of how and why our political system has failed to rise to that challenge. Now more than ever, this is a book every American needs to read. -- $c Provided by publisher. 610 27 $a UmschulungswerkstaÌtten fuÌr Siedler und Auswanderer $g Bitterfeld $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)10090522-5 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 1945- 650 0 $a Equality $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Social classes $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Democracy $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Democracy $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890081 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Equality $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914460 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074222 650 7 $a Social classes $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122365 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Einkommensverteilung $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4013898-7 650 7 $a Politische Kultur $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4046540-8 650 7 $a Politische OÌkonomie $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4115586-5 650 7 $a Soziale Ungleichheit $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4055736-4 650 7 $a Verteilungspolitik $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4188065-1 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?vid=isbn9780691172842 941 $a 1 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20180821010516.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98CFB8B6A50711E8B2D2900B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
