Ramparts Magazine Muckrakes America examines the muckraking publication's relentless depiction of American society from 1962 - 1975, with chapters focused specifically the rapacious nature of Cold War crony capitalism, the prevalence of poverty, scarcity and want in the midst of what economist Kenneth Galbraith referred to as The Affluent Society. Other chapters are focused on the publication's depiction of the American Empire's dependence on foreign oil; Law and Order and the weaponization of the American justice system and the rise of the prison industrial complex as a counterrevolutionary force in American society; other chapters chronicle the magazine's muckraking of corporate, political and educational corruption; other chapters focus on the publication's coverage of presidential politics, including the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy and the Watergate Scandal.
