American amnesia : how the war on government led us to forget what made America prosper

Hacker, Jacob S. (Author). Pierson, Paul, (author.).

Summary: In the past, government and business were as much partners as rivals, resulting in broad-based growth and healthy social development. But advocates of anti-government market fundamentalism are intent on scrapping the instrument of nearly a century of unprecedented economic and social progress. Hacker and Pierson examine why what's good for American business elites and what's good for Americans have become misaligned.
