The Elites, Working Class, and Political Shifts

This chapter delves into how Western elites have strategically marginalized the middle class, exacerbated poverty, and promoted policies contrary to the interests of working-class Americans. It explores the historical shift in the Democratic Party's stance on labor unions and the disillusionment of working-class individuals. The chapter also examines the changing political landscape, including the growing support for Donald Trump among minority groups and the disconnect between the elites and the working class.
