Review: Triumph of Conservatism

User Review  - Sean Chick - Goodreads

The thesis is simplistic and attractive if you think there is something fundamentally wrong with America. However, the evidence does not support Kolko's interpretations. Business often times opposed reform and these reforms were actually effective in many cases.
