Larry M. Bartels provides a rigorous empirical analysis of how American political institutions and partisan policies have exacerbated economic inequality since the late twentieth century. By examining the relationship between government responsiveness and the financial interests of the affluent, the author demonstrates how policy decisions consistently favor the wealthy at the expense of middle- and lower-income citizens. This expanded edition offers a comprehensive look at the mechanisms driving the New Gilded Age.
