- Summary
- The volume attempts to explain why modern government does what it does. The author searches for answers to the following questions -- how is it that government acts as the main prop to corporate capitalism and its most powerful elements and not, as is conventionally argued by some neoconservatives, as the advocate of the weakest and worst-off elements of our population? What developments in capitalism as a system of production and exchange have been most responsible for the molding of the contours of government policy in general, and what do such developments indicate for the future?
