He charts the Republican Party's success in building the most unnatural of alliances: between blue-collar Midwesterners and Wall Street business interests; between workers and bosses; between populists and right-wingers. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nTaking the state of Kansas as a paradigm Frank describes how a place famous for its radicalism became one of the most conservative states in the union. He also seeks to answer some broader riddles: why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? And whatever happened to middle-American progressivism? Frank reveals the true story showing how voters have been persuaded to elevate 'values' and down-home qualities above hard questions of policy. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nA brilliant analysis and funny to boot What's the Matter with America? presents a critical assessment of the state of America today.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53816424956246,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/frank-thomas-whats-the-matter-with-america-9780099565093","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
