Recent times have borne it out. In 2008 Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain rose as the financial system sank. Now the same effect may rob Mr Obama of his congressional majority. Though the recession ended last year, labour-market conditions have scarcely improved in much of the country. The damage is greatest in the West, the only region in which unemployment continues to grow. Politics has turned correspondingly ugly. In Arizona anger over immigration has intensified. In California Barbara Boxer, a long-serving left-wing Democratic senator, is successfully attacking her opponent, Carly Fiorina, for moving jobs overseas when she was boss of Hewlett-Packard, a technology company.
