Winner-Take-All Politics: Public Policy, Political Organization, and the Precipitous Rise of Top Incomes in the United States
they miss the profound role of government policy in creating this “winner-take-all” pattern
Argues that political science accounts of rising inequality that rest on the median voter in electoral politics miss the role of government policy and of the organizational transformation of American politics. Their own account links major policy shifts that raised the standing of those at the top to organized efforts by resourceful private interests. The companion trade book, Winner-Take-All Politics (Simon & Schuster, 2010), has chapters titled 'The Politics of Organized Combat', 'A Tale of Two Parties' and 'Democrats Climb Aboard' (table of contents as listed in a library record).
