Prisoners Of The American Dream by Mike Davis
Politics and Economy in the History of the US Working Class
A sharp, historically grounded critique that traces why the U.S. working class never coalesced into a sustained radical alternative: political institutions, legal frameworks, and a powerful ideology of individualism and the “American Dream,” together with racial divisions, immigrant fragmentation, and the conservative incorporation of unions into party politics, repeatedly diverted labor into reformism and accommodation to capital rather than revolutionary challenge, producing a labor movement shaped and constrained by the nation’s political culture and economic structures.
