Paperback. Condizione: Good. From the Revolution through the Civil Rights Movement, Americans mobilized against political, social, and economic privilege. But over the last half-century that political will has vanished. In The Age of Acquiescence, Steve Fraser explains why. His account of national transformation brilliantly examines the rise of American capitalism, the visionary attempts to protect the democratic commonwealth, and the great surrender to today's delusional fables of freedom and the politics of fear. Effervescent and razorsharp, The Age of Acquiescence is indispensable for understanding why we no longer fight for a more just society, and how we can revive the great American tradition of resistance in our own time.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. One of New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable Books of 2016No political image in recent American history has enjoyed the impact of the "limousine liberal." It has managed to mobilize an enduring politics of resentment directed against everything from civil rights to women's liberation, from the war on poverty to environmental regulation. Coined in 1969 by New York City mayoralty candidate Mario Procaccino, the term took aim at what he and his largely white lower middle class and blue collar following considered the repellent hypocrisy of well-heeled types who championed the cause of the poor, especially the black poor, but who had no intention of bearing the costs of their plight. The metaphor zeroed in on liberal elites who preferred to upset rather than defend the status quo not only in race relations, but in the sexual, moral, and religious order and had little interest in looking after the needs of working people.In The Limousine Liberal , the acclaimed historian Steve Fraser argues that it is impossible to understand American politics without coming to grips with this image, where it originated, why it persists, and where it may be taking us. He reveals that the limousine liberal had existed in all but name long before Procaccino gave it one. From Henry Ford decrying an improbable alliance of Jews, bankers, and Bolsheviks in the 1920s to the Tea Party's vehement hatred of Hillary Clinton, the fear of the limousine liberal has stoked right-wing populism for nearly a century. Today it fuses together disparate elements of the conservative movement. Sunbelt entrepreneurs on the rise, blue collar ethnics and middle classes in decline, heartland evangelicals, and billionaire business dynasts have found common cause, despite their real differences, in shared opposition to liberal elites. The Limousine Liberal tells an extraordinary story of why the most privileged and powerful elements of American society were indicted as subversives and reveals the reality that undergirds that myth. It goes to the heart of the great political transformation of the postwar era: the rise of the conservative right and the unmaking of the liberal consensus.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Americans have enjoyed a love-hate relationship with Wall Street for more than two hundred years. Long an object of suspicion and even fear, the stock market eventually came to be seen as an easy path to wealth. Steve Fraser examines the history of this powerful force that has had so much impact on the economy, politics and culture of the United States. The ethos of Wall Street contradicts that of American society in several ways: in a culture dedicated to hard work, it offers the possibility of instant, easy wealth, and the social hierarchy it supports clashes with the egalitarianism of a democratic society. Nevertheless, stocks and bonds have increasingly become accepted as a logical investment option. Breathtaking in its scope, Every Man a Speculator is nothing less than a history of capitalism in America. Steve Fraser is the author of Labor Will Rule: Sidney Hillman and the Rise of American Labor, a winner of the Phillip Taft Prize for the best book in labor history, as well as the co-editor of The Rise and Fall of the New Deal Order. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Nation, The American Prospect, Raritan, and Dissent. He received his Ph.D. in American History from Rutgers University. He lives in New York."An illuminating tour of how the United States has perceived its financial center over two centuries . Fraser's prose is elegant, and his eye for historical detail is keen, carrying the reader through the many sagas that he entertainingly recounts." -- Washington Post.…
