One of the most talked-about books of the genre is “Grand New Party:
How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream.”
The authors, Ross Douthat and
Reihan Salam, young editors at
Atlantic
Monthly, assert that while the GOP has learned to speak to the cultural
concerns of working-class whites, it has failed to address their
economic unease. They propose a mix of wage subsidies for the working
poor, a bigger child tax credit, and steps toward a universal
healthcare system rooted in the free market.
