More from Beckert’s book on the NYC bourgeoisie, which (have I said
this before?) is really terrific. One reason the U.S. bourgeoisie,
led by the NYC branch, was able to rise to such power was the
weakness of the U.S. state - and the fact that the strongest branch
of that weak state was the court system, the most sympathetic to
elite rule. This so-called conservative Supreme Court is really a
return to normalcy.
