wiki for Kevin Phillips
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Who's Winning the Revolutions?
But with the end of the American Civil War which assured democracy and a republic, capitalism ran amok. It took the the Populist and Progressive Movements and the likes of Teddy Roosevelt to reign in the rampant abuses. We've fallen off the track again, according to Mr. Phillips, who joins critics of today's unbounded capitalism from both the political left and right. He decries today's condition as financial mercantilism focused on aggrandizing only the financial sector of the economy.That's a questionable assertion--one could make the argument that it is the American Civil War that paved the way for certain economic elites to take power. Still, how does the rest of his thesis play out?
