Description:
A new, critical interpretation of how lower and middle class consent was historically built for elite class rule
Review Quotes:
"Americans are increasingly asking themselves foundational questions about the nature of the union, rule by the rich, and inequality. So there has never been a better time for a book like James Parisot's Class Politics and the Creation of the American State. Zeroing in on the oligarchic and minoritarian features of the American constitutional order, Parisot offers a welcome guide to historicizing these basic inquiries."
