Class counts. Class differences and class warfare have existed
since the beginning of western civilization, but the gap in income
and wealth between the rich (top 10 percent) and the rest has
increased steadily in the last twenty-five years. The U.S. is
heading for a financial oligarchy much worse than the aristocratic
old world that our Founding Fathers feared and tried to avoid. The
middle class is struggling and shrinking, the Medicare and Social
Security trusts are drying up, and education is no longer the great
equalizer. A moral society, one that is fair and just, sets limits
on the accumulation of wealth and inherited privilege and also
guarantees a safety net for the less fortunate. This book describes
the need for a redistribution of wealth in order to make U.S.
society more democratic, fair and just, and outlines the ways in
which we can begin to make these very necessary changes. This is a
timely and powerful book, one that should be read by anyone
interested in preserving the social fabric of American life.
