“A wonderful takedown of how the middle class has been left
feeling betrayed and screwed over by both political parties.”
—Huffi ngton Post
James Carville and Stan Greenberg
It’s the Middle Class, Stupid!
Government has really screwed things up for the average American. Work
has been devalued. Education costs are out of sight. Effort and ambition have
never been so scantily rewarded. Political guru James Carville and pollster
extraordinaire Stan Greenberg argue that our political parties must admit
their failures and the electorate must reclaim its voice, because taking on the
wealthy and privileged is not class warfare—it is a matter of survival.
Controversial, outspoken, and shrewd, It’s the Middle Class, Stupid! made waves
during the 2012 presidential campaign and will set the agenda for legislative
battles and political dustups long after the election is over.

Carl studied the noticeboard on the wall. Four newspaper headlines echoed one another:
the Merete Lynggaard case had been expertly solved. Department Q, the newly established
department for cases of special focus, led by Detective Superintendent Carl Mørck, was
described as an absolute success.
He stared at his tired hands, which hardly had the stamina to hold a lousy one-inch file,
the origins of which were unclear. The word “success,” at this moment, gave him a hollow
feeling. He sighed and continued reading the file.
