Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"[A] detailed but very accessible study. . . . Carnes deserves credit for focusing attention on an under-the-radar issue." * Publishers Weekly *
"The Cash Ceiling is convincing thanks to its well-written arguments, easy-to-understand graphs and data, and moving anecdotes. . . . The tone is always passionate and persuasive. . . . The text expertly analyzes every aspect of the issue at hand, asking why working-class Americans do not run for office in the first place, why they do not get recruited, and so on."---Mya Alexice, Foreword Reviews
"This is a great book for political science students (graduate and undergraduate) who are just learning about the system, rather than attempting to engage with it." * Pennsylvania Literary Journal *
"Innovative, clearly written, and carefully researched. - William W. Franko, Political Science Quarterly"
