To me, this was the other half of the story Democracy In Chains told. In DiC, libertarians and the radical right was explored through political movements and clandestine meetings. In this book, the liberal political class’s evolution is detailed through labor movements, political betrayals, and a steady march toward corporate oligarchy. 

Hedges takes a photograph of American politics in 2010 and warns of the potential far right tyrant being elected to the glee of the business class.
