Thomas Frank’s 2008 book ‘The Wrecking Crew’ analyzes a not-so-long-ago period in American history, the early-to-mid 2000s, when another gang of conservatives took power in Washington with the intention of wrecking the state in order to impose a radical-right agenda. Lambert Strether‘s review presents lengthy excerpts from the book, accompanied by Strether’s comments on parallels between that period and the present.
