The war at home

Description:

"In The War at Home, Frances Fox Piven dissects the way war has propped up America's rulers - at home. She examines how the war on terror initially served to buttress George W. Bush's political base - resolving, at least temporarily, political tensions between factions on the right, and shoring up voter support for a politically weak president. And she analyzes the manner in which the administration used the patriotic rush of war to further its regressive social and economic agendas, enacting a predatory program that extracted wealth not, in the classic imperial sense, from foreign peoples, but rather from middle- and low-income Americans."--BOOK JACKET.
