Reviews

Winner of the 2016 Best Book Award, Experimental Research Section of the American Political Science Association Levine provides evidence that financially anxious people respond to their stress not by grouping together for action but by becoming less generous with their checkbooks and personal time. --Pacific Standard This provocative volume identifies the 'self-undermining' political rhetoric inherent in the discussion of important economic issues as the driving reason contemporary working-and middle-class Americans have not produced political movements corresponding to the scale of the financial challenges they face... The research presented here is an interesting, well-defended addition to the literature on the nature of collective political action. --Choice Powerful and highly accessible... Levine has succeeded in shining a light on the disconcerting reality that many citizens abstain from getting involved in addressing the very issues that deeply affect and permeate their everyday lives. --John V. Kane and Jason Barabas, Journal of Politics
