Synopsis

Feel like you can’t get ahead no matter how hard you work? Worried about you and your children’s economic futures? You should be, and you’re not alone – America’s middle class is dying a slow death while the middle classes in other countries are growing. Who’s at fault? Ironically, capitalism itself, in its most hyper-capitalistic form of neoliberalism, which evolved from a failed economic theory to a failed theology. Hegel may have been right when he said that we learn from history that we do not learn from history: we went from a Gilded Age to the American dream of upward mobility, and now back to a new Gilded Age where plutocrats make economic policy instead of voters. Corporations and the wealthy donor class are pulling the strings of the puppets we call politicians and stacking the deck against ordinary Americans. But there is a way back. This book explores how we got to where we are today, and how we can again get back on track to prosperity. With close to 500 references, this title is not only thoroughly researched, it is also a memoir, a primer on economic policy, and an advocacy piece with fascinating case studies that will surprise and anger you. It is also a roadmap to what must be done to begin building the middle class again.
