Against The Day

[rich]

has anyone mentioned The Age of Betrayal by Jack Beattie (just published)

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200706u/gilded-age

'Beatty leaves it to others to describe the glamour of the Gilded Age.
Instead he makes viscerally clear the grinding poverty, the bloody racial
hatred, the violent labor strikes, and the corrupt politics that also
characterize that era. And he makes clear, too, the parallels with our own
time, where once again a yawning gap has opened between rich and poor, and
political influence is available for the taking by anyone willing'
