A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice

From the bestselling author of What's the Matter with Kansas?, this witty and highly provocative book asks a simple question: How is it possible that the disastrous collapse of the free market economy in 2008 could have heralded a popular revival--of the right?

In Pity the Billionaire, a brilliant, funny, and disturbing tour de force, Thomas Frank analyzes the sleight of hand involved in the right's resurgence--all the upside-down grievances that have transformed economic suffering into valentines for the rich and powerful. This great chronicler of American paradox dissects the contradictions at the heart of the country's politics, and in this "dazzling" book once again shows himself as "one of the best left-wing writers America has produced" (The Guardian).

Decent shelf
Color: Walnut, Size: 35.6W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack, Color: Walnut, Size: 35.6W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack
They look great and come exactly as described. They were super easy to install and came with everything you need. Sizing is exactly as described. For the price they’re all around a great purchase. I bought these to mount under our tv for video game consoles and they are perfect. However, they do not sit well on the wall. There’s only two mounting points when they should definitely have 3. We had to go get a shelf bracket from lowe’s to get it to sit right and not lean forward. So just beware if you want it to sit flush, you’re going to need something additional. Still worth it for the price!

Thanks to Amazon
Color: White, Size: 35.6W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack
Well, one thing I have to say is we got one white shelf and one brown shelf and it did look like the box had been opened. But that being said Amazon was very wonderful and told us to keep it took it off my bill. They didn’t even charge me for it. The assembly was super easy. My husband said it was very easy to install. All he did was paint the brown and white and put it on the wall so we lucked out on that one thank you

Works well with new hardware.
Color: White, Size: 24W x 11.6D x 2H, 2 Pack
The product is good and strong if you install the bracket securely to the wall. Do not use the supplied fasteners for sheet rock. Buy new fasteners at Home Depot that clamp tightly to the sheet rock and everything will be fine.
