Criticism Out Of Books America: What Went Wrong?

I read this book 20 years ago but must add it to my list with high praise. Based on a Pulitzer Prize winning series in the Philadelphia Inquirer, it set out the trends well underway by then that have resulted in the mess we are in now.

These writers are American Cassandras, and to mix my metaphors, the working class fiddled while the elite stole our middle class lifestyle.
