The Wrecking Crew

Über

The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule is a book written by American journalist and historian Thomas Frank, which explores the current state of conservative Washington.
Frank summarized the message of his book as, "Bad government is the natural product of rule by those who believe government is bad."
Frank argues that certain elements of the Republican party have intentionally dismantled the government by many means including turning public policy into a private-sector feeding frenzy. Frank describes the current state of Washington as analogous to a large group of privatized pigs feeding at the public trough, brought on by the privatization schemes engineered by the present Republican party.
This book follows Frank's New York Times bestseller What's the Matter with Kansas?
