He argues that this shift stems from two critical failures of the Left: first, ignoring rising economic inequality, and second, failing to disassociate itself from the politically toxic social agenda of \"the left wing of the left wing's left\"--especially on immigration, policing, and sexual identity. These errors led many voters to believe that the Left was either indifferent or hostile to their interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining history and policy insight with his characteristic humor, Frank offers a strategic path toward reclaiming a just and democratic future by decreasing economic inequality and addressing social problems without alienating the majority of voters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"The Hard Path to Unity | Barney Frank | Hardcover | 9780300267341 | New | Politics 1785375","offer_id":67726273478808,"sku":"1785375","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51sDTyo-aiL.jpg?v=1792080418","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-hard-path-to-unity","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
