Description

Drawing on current events, law, philosophy, economics, politics, sociology, and psychology, and applying them to vital issues of our day, Mitchell tells a story of a national faith that is deeply at odds with our common emotions and intuitions, to expose the ways in which that national faith justifies the selfishness of the lucky and preserves the status quo of economic and political distributions.
