BookPal × TalezoIt Could Happen Here
A stark warning on how runaway economic inequality and a vanishing middle class threaten the very survival of American democracy.
In It Could Happen Here, Bruce Judson, author of Go It Alone!, explains why revolution is possible in the United States—and makes the most disturbing case yet for why our economics are leading us inevitably toward a just such a crisis.
Judson traces the steep concentration of national wealth since 1913, showing how the richest households captured nearly a quarter of all income while working families stagnated under mounting debt.
His analysis examines how sudden economic shocks destabilize vulnerable societies, drawing evidence from the French Revolution to the Soviet collapse.
Underscoring the historically dangerous levels of inequality in our country today, It Could Happen Here “will cause you to think about the risks for a nation divided between haves and have nots.” (Walter Isaacson)
- Economic History: Analyzes how wealth concentration follows predictable historical cycles, comparing twentieth-century American tax policy to ancient Solonian reforms and the economic collapse of eighteenth-century France.
- Political Economy: Explores how the erosion of the middle class and the breakdown of institutional trust create fertile ground for civil unrest, drawing on theories of relative deprivation and rising expectations.
- Housing Bubble: Documents the systemic fallout of subprime lending and unregulated derivatives, tracing how predatory credit card fees and home foreclosures dismantle family solvency.
- Public Policy: Outlines structural remedies to rebuild civic balance, including New Deal-style mortgage refinancings modeled on the Home Owners Loan Corporation, progressive tax realignments, and educational access.
