Thomas Frank

I recently read several books etc. by Thomas Frank, including
  • What's the matter with Kansas? How conservatives won the heart of America (Metropolitan Books, 2004)
  • One Market Under God: Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism and the End of Economic Democracy (Doubleday, New York, 2000)
I highly recommend both. While I'm being an advocate, let me point to Frank's web site (http://www.tcfrank.com/), where you will find a variety of politically interesting links etc.

I'll also point to the very nice journal The Baffler (http://www.baffler.com) for which Frank is an editor.

Frank wrote in "Le Monde Diplomatique" a quite prescient piece nine months or so before the last US presidential election, which may be found HERE.
