What's The Matter With America? by Thomas Frank
Taking the state of Kansas as a paradigm, the author 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, such as: why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? And whatever happened to middle-American progressivism?
'THOMAS FRANK, NOT MICHAEL MOORE, IS THE MOST INCISIVE WRITER ON CONTEMPORARY AMERICA His writing is so dazzling and witty and scornful it can stand comparison with the works of Twain or Mencken.. Frank is in a different league from Michael Moore. He is a smarter and better writer. - Observer. 'Eloquent and often funny' - The Times. 'Important and fascinating...Frank [writes] vividly and with great insight' - London Review of Books. 'Brilliant' - Guardian
