From market crisis to market boom, from welfare to wealth care,
from homelessness to helplessness, and an all-out assault on the
global environment-these are just some of the indecencies of
contemporary economic life that Profit Pathology takes on. Here,
Michael Parenti investigates how class power is a central force in
our political life and, yet, is subjected to little critical
discernment. He notes how big-moneyed interests shift the rules of
the game in their favor while unveiling the long march by
reactionaries through the nation's institutions to undo all the
gains of social democracy, from the New Deal to the present.
Parenti also traces the exploitative economic forces that have
operated through much of American history, including the mass
displacement and extermination of Native Americans and the
enslavement of Africans. Parenti is a master at demonstrating the
impact of monomaniacal profit accumulation on social
services-especially health care-and human values. Here he takes us
one step further, showing how unrestrained capitalism ultimately
endangers itself, becoming a "self-devouring beast" that threatens
us all. Finally, he calls for a solution based on democratic
diversity and public ownership-"because it works."
