Goliath

"A startling look at how concentrated financial power and consumerism transformed American politics, resulting in the emergence of populism and authoritarianism, the fall of the Democratic Party--while also providing the steps needed to create a new democracy"-- Americans once had a coherent and clear understanding of political tyranny. A concentration of power, whether in the hands of a military dictator or a JP Morgan, was understood as autocratic and dangerous to individual liberty and democracy. Stoller explains how authoritarianism and populism have returned to American politics for the first time since the New Deal. The outcome of the 2016 election shook our faith in democratic institutions, and brought to the fore dangerous forces that many modern Americans never even knew existed. Stoller illustrates how we arrived at this tenuous moment, and the steps we must take to create a new democracy. -- adapted from jacket
