During the 20th century, America managed to make its economic and social systems both more and more fair and more and more prosperous. A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 125
The life of John Marshall, founding father and America's premier chief justice. In 1801, a genial and brilliant Revolutionary War veteran and politician became the fourth chief justice of the US. He would hold the post for 34 years (still a record), expounding the Constitution he loved. Before he joined the Court, it was the weakling of the federal government, lacking in dignity and clout. After he died, it could never be ignored again.

Was thoroughly entertained and enlightened by this book

This book is outstanding to me because it presented the history of Chief Justice John Marshall’s life within the atmosphere of the world he lived in at the founding of the country and provided the various interests of others and their motivations to influence early decisions of the Supreme Court. I’ll going to listen to it again, a first for me, I usually just move to new audio books, but in this case I believe I’ll pick up important elements that flew past me the first time.
