Did you read Ages of American Capitalism and think "this book is too short"? Well, here is a stab at a chapter 23, carrying the story to the present (or fall 2025 anyway). Thanks to my new Sciences Po colleague Jeanne Lazarus for inviting and editing. econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/…

I try to answer this question in my new book, The Privatized State, out today. Here is an excerpt in the Boston Review.
