On the September 15th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with labor historian Steve Fraser about his new book “The Age of Acquiescence: The Life and Death of American Resistance to Organized Wealth and Power.”
He writes that in the first Gilded Age, in the 19th century, people managed to mount a kind of sustained economic, anti-capitalist, and cultural resistance to plutocratic rule that is simply unimaginable today, so what are the characteristics of social and political movements of our era?
