«What's the Matter with America?» is Thomas Frank's political analysis essay, published by Secker & Warburg in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Thomas Frank examines the rise of the American right and the alliance between the Midwestern working class and Wall Street interests. Using Kansas as a paradigm, he describes how a state with a radical tradition became one of the most conservative in the country and reflects on why many voters support policies contrary to their economic and social interests. The author, a Kansas native and former Republican, analyzes how «values» have come to take precedence over policies and questions the fate of American middle-class progressivism.
Work published in 2004 by Secker & Warburg. The cover features a quote from Barbara Ehrenreich calling it the most lucid analysis of American conservative pseudopopulism.
For readers interested in US politics and the causes of conservative voting among the working classes.
