Kill It to Save It : An Autopsy of Capitalism’s Triumph over Democracy Paperback / softback
by Corey (Stonehill College, Easton, MA, USA) Dolgon
Paperback / softback
Description
How have powerful Americans convinced their fellow citizens to support policies beneficial only to the wealthy?
Why have so many given up on public education, safe food and safe streets, living wages – even on democracy itself?
Kill it to Save it lays bare the hypocrisy of US political discourse by documenting the story of capitalism’s triumph over democracy.
As the Progressive Left tries to understand how President Trump came to power, Corey Dolgon documents his historical, political and cultural road map.
Dolgon argues that American citizens now accept policies that destroy the public sector and promote political stories that feel right “in the gut”, regardless of science or facts. Covering the post-Vietnam era to present day, Dolgon dismantles US common sense cultural discourse and explains why the endless crisis in US policy will continue until American citizens recognize what has been lost, and in whose interest.
