I've just finished reading his most recent book. Kevin Phillips is a brillant writer and an unusually insightful and articulate analyst of the political/economic/history calculus that describes any culture; especially the USA today. This work on the U.S. approaching a form theocracy in government is a natural sequence to his previous book: "Wealth and Democracy."
At the risk of actually getting some significant empirical data that verifies the author's premise, before knee-jerking negative response that is comforting to one's ideological orientation, posters here might consider reading the book.

He's just trying to sell his new book... Great observation. You are correct.
But is he wrong? If so, how?

Kevin Phillips is a dried up old queen who has been hawking this line for the last twenty years.
