Is it right for Piketty to assert that the Democratic Party was a homogeneous whole in the 60's? What exactly was Daley doing at Chicago in 1968 in the interests of social democracy? You may as well claim that the Democrats transitioned from the party of the South due to unforeseen Goldwater-shaped factors.

But in the 60s and 70s there was an extremely militant labor movement and the balance of power between those two groups was shifted a lot (although political control was never given up).
