Trenchant and witty
*The Times*
An astonishing story
*Observer*
No one fools Thomas Frank, who is the sharpest, funniest, most
intellectually voracious political commentator on the scene. In
Pity the Billionaire he has written a brilliant expose of the most
breath-taking ruse in American political history: how the right
turned the biggest capitalist breakdown since 1929 into an
opportunity for themselves.
*Barbara Ehrenreich*
Tom Frank has the Tea Parties in his sights! Brisk and searing and
deeply informed by the lessons of history (shocking notion!),
Frank's latest guide for the perplexed is nothing less than a
precious gift to us. Read it, and finally--You. Will.
Understand.
