"In his fine book, both history and a call to arms, Ganesh Sitaraman argues that the contemporary explosion of inequality will destroy the American Constitution. . . . He has done all of us a great service, taking an issue of overwhelming public importance, delving into its history, helping understand how our forebears handled it and building a platform to think about it today." --Angus Deaton, The New York Times Book Review (cover review)
"Ganesh Sitaraman is a bold and visionary thinker whose new book, The Crisis of the Middle-Class Constitution, shows that the disappearing American dream is more than a policy problem--it is a constitutional crisis. In our age of growing inequality, the stakes couldn't be higher. Every American needs to read this book." --Senator Elizabeth Warren
