The Wrecking Crew

In Wrecking Crew, Thomas Frank delves into the consequences of a conservative coalition that has transformed Washington, focusing on the systematic dismantling of government and the rise of a private-sector-driven public policy landscape. He traces the origins of this shift, illustrating how instead of reducing government, conservatives have effectively sold it off, leading to widespread incompetence in governance. With sharp analysis and wit, Frank argues that the ramifications of this deliberate mismanagement will persist beyond elections, positioning the free market as a permanent fixture in state policy.
