Former Wall Street Journal columnist Frank (What's the Matter with Kansas?) is puzzled. The economy hasn't been this bad since the Depression, but the Republican Right is rising up to demand that we embrace the very system that has led us to the brink. And folks hard hit aren't complaining. Buy where books on current events matter, though Red State readers aren't as likely to embrace.
