This book is primarily about our government's economic policies over the last 30+ years. The authors present an interesting and convincing explanation of how things got the way they are today, and why.
What is "winner-take-all politics"? The authors define the winner-take-all economy as:
"The hyperconcentration of rewards at the top that is the defining feature of the post-1970s economy."
Winner-take-all politics is the politics behind the winner-take-all economy.
While the authors are biased towards the Democrat party, they explain the roles that both parties have played in winner-take-all politics, and in some ways they make the Democrats look worse than the Republicans.
Although the book was written in 2010, it is still relevant today, as they describe long-term trends which are still in effect.
