Economic meltdown usually brings calls for change. Or it's supposed to.
But when Thomas Frank set out to find them in America today, all he
heard were loud demands that the losers be hit harder and that the
winners get more.
Using first-hand reporting, a deep political
understanding and a wicked sense of humour, Frank examines the weird
double-think that has enlisted the powerless in a fan club for the
prosperous. Pity the Billionaire takes us on a wild road-trip through
the strange landscape of the American Right, the Tea Party and Glenn
Beck, makes sense of a topsy-turvy world and shows how instead of
complying with the new speed limit, conservative America has stamped
hard on the accelerator. It is essential reading for understanding how
we all got to where we are, and how we might get out.
