- Reason Two. Compromised Democrats.
- Reason Three. The Reign of Politicized Courts and Big Money.
- Reason Four. The Collapse of Equalizing Institutions.
- Reason Five. Bewildering Changes in How Jobs Are Structured.
- Reason Six. The Internalization of a Generation’s Plight.
- Reason Seven. The Absence of a Movement.
