Review:
"THE WRECKING CREW is written in a voice of high derision...and it can be good, spirited fun."
Nicholas Lemann, New Yorker, 08/11/2008
Review:"...THE WRECKING CREW is a useful introduction to a world of pricey lobbyists, crackpot theorists, bought legislators and hapless government. And, in part through these very caricatures, the book gets at some essential questions about politics and markets in a democratic society."
Jefferson Decker, Nation, 10/27/2008

The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Ruined Government, Enriched Themselves, and Beggared the Nation (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780805090901) Frank, Thomas Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Holt McDougal, United States, 2009. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 198 x 132 mm. Brand New Book. From the most astute political scoffer since H. L. Mencken, the definitive account of the conservative reign of misrule and corruptionHailed as a "hunk of dynamite" ("Salon") and celebrated for its "satiric wit" ("The New York Times Book Review") and "delighted outrage" ("The New Republic"), "The Wrecking Crew" supplies the first and--lacking future fact-finding commissions--probably the only full reckoning of what conservatism has wrought.Casting his eyes from the Bush administration's final months of plunder to the earliest days of the Republican revolution, Thomas Frank uncovers the deep logic behind the graft and incompetence of conservatives in power. He shows how leaders dedicated to a doctrine of government by entrepreneurship proceeded to sell off the state, channeling the profits to cronies and loyalists. He surveys the federal agencies doomed to failure by the inept and even hostile staff appointed to run them. He charts the practice of wholesale deregulation and the devastating results now clear for all to see. From political scandal to mortgage meltdown, Frank documents the consequences of enshrining the free market as the logic of the state. As conservatives retreat to lick their wounds and a new administration prepares to undo the years of misgovernment, "The Wrecking Crew" makes clear the challenges before the nation. A brilliant and audacious stocktaking--now thoroughly revised and updated--this is Frank's most revelatory work yet.
