Phillips discovered that there was a consistent inverse, or negative, relationship between the rate of wage inflation and the rate of unemployment in the United Kingdom from 1861 to 1957.

 "The Identity Crisis of Kevin Phillips (review of The Politics of Rich and Poor, Fortune, 7/16/90)"
Phillips is one of the political commentators who dominate the talk-show circuit and, significantly, one of the few routinely labeled as a conservative.
Phillips can't take that away from them, but his consolatory grievance is that many prices (around half, in fact) outran the cost-of-living index, a vexing problem that his own preferred policies would no doubt rectify.
Phillips is unique in trailing that "C-R" behind him wherever he goes like a toy balloon, or as if he had just made it through a tough primary.

 Review | American Dynasty by Kevin Phillips
One of the most interesting things about Phillips, aside from how often correct and earnest he is, is that he's a traditional, establishment conservative.
America, Phillips argues, has long been warned about the volatility of a gulf between rich and poor, and the corrupting power of aristocracies.

Conservatives remembering Kevin Phillip's prescient 1969 advice ("The Emerging Republican Majority") on how the GOP could dominate the rest of the century will be even more disappointed; Phillips sees the time as ripe for a progressive realignment that will bring nothing but pain to the Lott/Armey axis.
Phillips doesn't venture to say how long it will be until the next realignment; but each time it has happened, the suddenness and vehemence of middle class anger has taken the rich elite by surprise.
Phillips provides a great deal of information, but that is not well organized, and often repetitive, leaving the reader with a sense of confusion.

No other family, Phillips says, that has fulfilled its presidential aspirations has been so involved in the ascendancy of the arms industry and of the 21st-century American imperium--often at the expense of regional and world peace and for their personal gain.
Phillips points out early in the book that the Kennedy family was a bit of a dynasty (and would have been one for certain had Robert F. Kennedy not been assassinated in 1968), and he acknowledges that if Hillary Clinton were to run and win in 2008 that would also constitute a dynasty.
Phillips is a lawyer and former aide to the Nixon White House, and is hardly a liberal flame-thrower.

Phillips also makes much of the fact that Prescott Bush was involved with the Union Banking Corporation, which was seized by federal authorities in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, a story frequently cited on left-wing websites.

 American Dynasty - Kevin Phillips - Penguin Group (USA)
In this devastating book, onetime Republican strategist Phillips reveals how four generations of Bushes have ascended the ladder of national power since World War One, becoming entrenched within the American establishment—Yale, Wall Street, the Senate, the CIA, the vice presidency, and the presidency—through a recurrent flair for old-boy networking, national security involvement, and political deception.
By uncovering relationships and connecting facts with new clarity, Phillips comes to a stunning conclusion: The Bush family has systematically used its financial and social empire—its "aristocracy"—to gain the White House, thereby subverting the very core of American democracy.
That this powerful argument has been made by Kevin Phillips should be a measure of how seriously it should be taken.

 Arrogant Capital by Kevin Phillips - A Book Review by Scott London
The growing ineffectiveness of American government is part of a larger "reversal of fortune" where political and economic influence has shifted from the grassroots of America to a new "guardian class" in Washington.
Since the 1940s, Phillips observes, Washington has become increasingly dominated by an interest-group elite which is now so deeply entrenched and so resistant to change that the proper functioning of government is impossible.
Phillips draws a number of portentous historical analogies between Washington and other great capitals that have seen the rise and fall of power.
