The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of America [9781324124108]

Overview

{"p":[{"em":"The Quiet Coup"},"They did so by changing the law in unseen ways. Tracing this largely unknown history from the late 1960s to the present, Baradaran demonstrates that far from yielding fewer laws and regulations, neoliberalism has in fact always meant more—and more complex—laws. Those laws have uniformly benefited the wealthy. From the work of a young Alan Greenspan in creating \"Black Capitalism,\" to Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell’s efforts to unshackle big money donors, to the establishment of the \"Law and Economics\" approach to legal interpretation—in which judges render opinions based on the principles of right-wing economics—Baradaran narrates the key moments in the slow-moving coup that was, and is, neoliberalism. Shifting our focus away from presidents and national policy, she tells the story of how this nation’s laws came to favor the few against the many, threatening the integrity of the market and the state.",{"em":"The Quiet Coup"}]}
