Historian Steve Fraser examines the politics and power of the iconic "limousine liberal" - from the Democratic party's allegiance to the longterm health of capitalism at the expense of its voters, to the fuel for a right-wing populist wave sinking the Republican establishment - and explains why this election season, and the enduring success of outsiders Sanders and Trump signal a shift in how Americans view the intersection of capitalism and politics.
Steve is author of the new book The Limousine Liberal: How an Incendiary Image United the Right and Fractured America from Basic Books.
