"In an original and compelling argument, Thomas McGarity shows how adding populists to the Republican's traditional base of free market ideologues and establishment Republicans allowed Trump to come dangerously close to achieving his goal of demolishing the programs that Congress put in place over the course of many decades to protect consumers, workers, communities, children, and the environment. The book also offers a blueprint for rebuilding the protective edifice and restoring the power of the American government to offer all Americans better lives"-- Provided by publisher.
