E. J. Dionne not only challenges the conventional wisdom that America is moving to the right but also offers a more promising way forward. Prophetic and inspiring, They Only Look Dead forecast the changes in American politics before they happened and instantly altered the debate. Dionne brilliantly pinpoints the four crises shaking American politics and how they affect people's jobs, living standards, family lives, and attitudes toward the future. In a new preface and afterword, Dionne shows how a progressive, reform-minded political movement is the answer to our prevailing discontent.
