Washington Post Bestseller
“Tim Carney delivers a masterful contribution to the debate about what is driving our society’s growing divisions. Rejecting purely material or demographic explanations, he shows that the deepest disparity facing Americans today is one of community. Clear and compassionate, Alienated America offers a roadmap for the restoration of our nation.”
— Arthur C. Brooks, New York Times Bestselling author of The Conservative Heart
“With impressive documentation and persuasive examples, Tim Carney shows how government power and regulation are typically used to assist the powerful.”
—Paul Gigot, editorial page editor, The Wall Street Journal
“A romping tour de force of the love affair between big business and big government…. Indispensable for understanding how government regulation really works.”
—Don Devine, author and political scientist
