Christopher Locke says The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule by Thomas Frank is
 an important book, and right on the money, |
fascists by any other name would still smell
“Personally, I found the book engaging, hugely informative, and fascinating — the way a 40-car pile up or train derailment is fascinating. Frank makes a valiant attempt to end the book on an upbeat note, but on the whole, the picture he presents is like a case study in political despair.
“The really depressing part is that he seems to have correctly diagnosed the cancer.”
From the book’s description:
It is no coincidence, Frank argues, that the same politicians who guffaw at the idea of effective government have installed a regime in which incompetence is the rule.
