What's The Matter With America?

Delve into the thought-provoking insights of Thomas Frank in his compelling book, What's The Matter With America? Published by Vintage Publishing in 2011, this paperback edition spans 336 pages, offering a detailed exploration of the 'thirty-year backlash'—a revolt from the common man against a perceived liberal establishment. Frank's signature wit and keen analysis shine as he examines how Kansas, once a bastion of radicalism, transformed into one of the most conservative states in the nation. This engaging narrative not only unpacks the complexities of American conservatism but also challenges readers to reflect on the underlying societal dynamics at play. Perfect for those interested in political history and social commentary, Frank’s work encourages a deeper understanding of contemporary America.
