Only the Rich Can Play: How Washington Works in the New Gilded Age

In Only the Rich Can Play, David Wessel presents a economic analysis centered on how Washington Works in the New Gilded Age. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of business & economics and political science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
