Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right by Arlie Russell Hochschild

2.0

I do not understand the mindset behind conservative talking points any better now than I did before reading this book. Deregulating business and lack of oversight are terrible ideas. Financial support and infrastructure that benefits individuals are "handouts" that lead to dependency and laziness, but handouts to corporations are perfectly fine for some reason.

There was a lot of environmental stuff in here, which is actually not a pet issue of mine. But I just don't think it should be a big deal to demand businesses to behave in ways that benefit everyone, not just themselves. Historically, if we don't MAKE them behave in those ways, THEY DON'T.
