Pity the billionaire the hard times swindle and the unlikely comeback of the Right

Frank, Thomas 1965- (Author).

Summary: In Pity the Billionaire, Frank examines the peculiar mechanism by which dire economic circumstances have delivered unexpected political results. Using firsthand reporting, a knowledge of the American Right, and a wicked sense of humor, he gives us the first full diagnosis of the cultural malady that has transformed collapse into profit, reconceived the Founding Fathers as heroes from an Ayn Rand novel, and enlisted the powerless in a fan club for the prosperous.
