 www.kpfa.org   \n\nThomas Frank explained in What's the Matter with Kansas 
 why working America votes for politicians who invariably serve the rich.  
 He convincingly showed how and why vast multitudes of Americans so often 
 vote against their own interests. In The Wrecking Crew he reveals the 
 blundering, conspicuously corrupt Washington these politicians created. 
 Rather than cutting down the big government they claim to hate, the ruling 
 coalition has simply sold it off - deregulating many industries, defunding 
 others, turning public policy into private-sector bidding, turning the 
 nation's capitol into a surreal landscape of lavish suburbs and gleaming 
 lobbyist headquarters, and ugly wreckage for poor folks. The best and 
 brightest individuals in government have simply been hushed or driven away, 
 while criminal entrepreneurship and pathetic incompetence have replaced 
 anything like serious governmental concerns. The virtuous intentions we 
 learned about in public school have been cynically trashed by the new 
 conservative ideology.       \n\n"Frank is a formidable 
 controversialist-imagine Michael Moore with a trained brain and an 
 intellectual conscience." - The Washington Post \n\nThomas Frank is the 
 founding editor of The Baffler and a contributing editor at Harper's.  He 
 has received a Lannan Foundation award and been a frequent guest columnist 
 for The New York Times.\n
