    Summary: 
    "A spirited examination of why what's good for American business elites and what's good for Americans have become misaligned"--Front jacket flap.
    In the past, government and business were as much partners as rivals, resulting in broad-based growth and healthy social development. But advocates of anti-government market fundamentalism are intent on scrapping the instrument of nearly a century of unprecedented economic and social progress. Hacker and Pierson examine why what's good for American business elites and what's good for Americans have become misaligned.
