About this listen

 Since the early days of the American republic, political thinkers have maintained that a grossly unequal division of property, wealth and power would lead to the erosion of democratic life. Yet over the past 35 years, neoconservatives and neoliberals alike have redrawn the tenets of American liberalism. Nowhere is this more evident than in our current mainstream political discourse, in which the politics of economic inequality are rarely discussed.©2008 Columbia University Press (P)2008 Columbia University Press Americas Economic History Economics Macroeconomics Political Science Politics & Government Poverty & Homelessness Social Sciences United States World Liberalism Capitalism Socialism Economic disparity Economic Inequality Social Policy Taxation
