Unequal Democracy - (Russell Sage Foundation Co-Pub) 2nd Edition by Larry M Bartels

Unequal Democracy by Larry Bartels is a groundbreaking examination of how the American political system favors the wealthy, revealing the barriers to change posed by partisan ideologies and the political power of the rich.

This fully revised and expanded second edition includes two new chapters on the political economy of the Obama era, providing a sobering account of the impact of the Great Recession and the Occupy Wall Street movement on economic inequality.

With new analyses of tax policy, partisan differences in economic performance, the struggle to raise the minimum wage, and inequalities in congressional representation, Unequal Democracy is the definitive account of how and why our political system has failed to address this defining challenge of our time.

Don't miss out on this essential read for anyone seeking to understand the true state of American democracy.
