The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?

Ending poverty requires ending greed
Revisado: 04-18-25
The juxtaposition of tax avoidance estimates and the cost of ending poverty should be all the justification anyone needs to get on board with the message of this book.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Since the Founding, Americans have debated the true meaning of freedom. For some, freedom meant the provision of life’s necessities, those basic conditions for the “pursuit of happiness”. For others, freedom meant the civil and political rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights and unfettered access to the marketplace—nothing more. As Mark Paul explains, the latter interpretation—thanks in large part to a particularly influential cadre of economists—has all but won out among policymakers, with dire repercussions for American society.

Strong Connective Work
Revisado: 03-27-25
I always greatly appreciate when an author has a birds eye view of our ideological history and material realities. This book does an excellent job at providing a coherent and informed view of our political economy.

It’s easy to look at the state of the world around us and feel hopeless. We live in an era marked by war, climate crisis, political polarization, and acute inequality—and yet many of us feel powerless to do anything about these profound issues. We’ve been assured that unfettered capitalism is necessary to ensure our freedom and prosperity but why, in our age of unchecked corporate power, are most of us living paycheck to paycheck? When the economy falters, why do governments bail out corporations and shareholders but leave everyday people in the dust?

America Last is a guide for the perplexed, identifying and tracing a persuasion—or the "illiberal imagination"—that has animated conservative politics for a century now. Since the 1940s, the Right has railed against communist fellow travelers in America. Heilbrunn finally corrects the record, showing that dictator worship is a longstanding tradition within modern American conservatism that cannot be ignored—and what it means for us today.

The History the American Right Hopes You’ll Forget
Revisado: 10-04-24
Incredible parallels highlighted in this book between the rhetoric of the past and present.
The consistency with the American right wing’s advocacy of the most obviously immoral actors while posturing as the owner of the moral high ground at any given point in time is evergreen and egregious.
Extremely important read for anyone tired of the modern right gaslighting with historical revisionism.

The media can't stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government was taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

Cenk’s missives from the frontlines
Revisado: 12-21-23
Cenk has a way of describing politics as a dynamic struggle in motion. I was pleasantly surprised by the accessibility of the concepts, especially the way in which the Supreme Court played a crucial and intentional role in our downward spiral through history.

To modern Western society, capitalism is the air we breathe, and most people rarely think to question it, for good or for ill. But knowing what makes capitalism work - and what makes it fail - is crucial to understanding its long-term health and the vast implications for the global economy that go along with it.

Loved to his lectures, this is garbage

A welcome challenge
Revisado: 12-04-23
The language used is precise and conveys layers of meaning. There are phenomena referenced throughout which have very technical rather than colloquial meanings, but are always exactly what is needed to understand the broader context of big picture capitalism. This book challenges you to adopt exacting concepts to build a larger understanding, start clarifying the ideas for yourself early if a term goes over your head, you are likely to hear them a lot throughout.
