Sean Wilentz presents two key insights that reveal a much-needed vision of American political history. Firstly, partisanship has almost always been a feature of American history and has made possible its greatest social reforms. Secondly, the recent attention to economic inequality has a long history. From the founders’ generation to the present, America’s egalitarian tradition has appeared and reappeared like an underground river.
"Wilentz sets forth a provocative idea that may provide vital perspective to the politics of this very year." -- The Boston Globe
"A shrewd and engaging assessment of the variable American tradition of egalitarianism... scrupulously detailed, elegantly written, incisively argued, and effectively combative." -- Philip Roth
