"In this fascinating tour through the history of the U.S. presidential elections, Vince Copeland explains the devious art of capitalist politics. And shows how mass movements can upset even the best-laid plans of the "king-makers."
Who has been excluded from voting? How were electoral politics used to betray Black freedom after the Civil War? How did two Roosevelts wield reform at home to facilitate empire-building abroad? Why did no "normal" elections take place between 1960 and 1976? "Market Elections" takes us into smoke-filled rooms and raucous conventions to tell the story."
