"A massive and remarkable achievement. The historical institutional analysis of trends in sectoral balance sheets is backed by endlessly fascinating tables and figures. The central claim about the ideological and real impact of finance is highly relevant to the study of American and comparative political economy. The two volumes provide important insights into patterns of continuity and change in American economics and politics since the financial crisis of 2007-8."
