The Occupy Wall Street protests have captured America's political imagination. Polls show that twothirds of the nation now believe that America's enormous wealth ought to be 'distributed more evenly.' However, almost as many Americanswell over halffeel the protests will ultimately have 'little impact' on inequality in America. What explains this disconnect? Most Americans have resigned themselves to believing that the rich simply always get their way.Except they don't.A century ago, the United States hosted a superrich even more domineering than ours today. Yet fifty years later, that superrich had almost entirely disappeared. Their majestic mansions and estates had become museums and college campuses, and America had become a vibrant, mass middle class nation, the first and finest the world had ever seen.Americans today ought to be taking no small inspiration from this stunning change. After all, if our forbears successfully beat back grand fortune, why can't we? But this transformation is inspiring virtually no one. Why? Because the story behind it has remained almost totally unknown, until now.This lively popular history will speak directly to the political hopelessness so many Americans feel. By tracing how average Americans took down plutocracy over the first half of the 20th Centuryand how plutocracy came back The Rich Don't Always Win will outfit Occupy Wall Street America with a deeper understanding of what we need to do to get the United States back on track to the American dream.
