1. 1. Winner Take All Politics

   How Washington Made the Rich Richer—and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class

   

   This book argues that rising economic inequality in the United States is primarily the result of political choices and institutional changes rather than inevitable market forces: tax cuts, deregulation, weakened labor protections, and policy decisions shaped by wealthy and well-connected interests concentrated income and wealth at the top while the middle class stagnated and social insurance frayed. It traces how policy-driven shifts in taxation, finance, and corporate governance produced both economic concentration and increased political power for elites, creating a feedback loop that makes reform difficult, and it proposes restoring progressive taxation, strengthening labor and social protections, reforming campaign finance, and investing in public goods to rebalance opportunity and revive democratic accountability.
