P&P Live! Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson | LET THEM EAT TWEETS

The Republican Party appears to be divided between a tax-cutting old guard and a white-nationalist vanguard--and with Donald Trump's ascendance, the upstarts seem to be winning. Yet how are we to explain that, under Trump, the plutocrats have gotten almost everything they want, including a huge tax cut for corporations and the wealthy, regulation-killing executive actions, and a legion of business-friendly federal judges? Does the GOP represent "forgotten" Americans? Or does it represent the superrich? In Let Them Eat Tweets, best-selling political scientists Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson offer a definitive answer: the Republican Party serves its plutocratic masters to a degree without precedent in modern global history.

Jacob S. Hacker is a political scientist at Yale University, and Paul Pierson is a political scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. They are the coauthors of three books, including the New York Times bestseller Winner-Take-All Politics.
