It is difficult to read Larry Bartels' book and not come away feeling unsettled. The book provides rigorous statistical proof for what we all suspect--the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. Those conservatives who 'want their country back' should rejoice if they want to live in a dystopia of rich white men, by rich white men and for rich white men.
There is some good news. This book helps us to understand the often murky ways of politics, money and power. And awareness is a prerequisite of effective action.
Find this book at amazon.
