| Summary: | "Economic Apartheid in America examines recent changes in income and wealth distribution, as well as the economic policies and shifts in power that have fueled the growing divide Focusing on the decline of organized labor and civic institutions, the battle over global trade, and the growing inequality of income and wages, Economic Apartheid in America argues that with wealth and power in the hands of a select few, the majority of people in this country will be shut out of the discussion about the rules governing our shared economic lives." "Filled with charts, graphs, and political cartoons, Economic Apartheid in America is an action-oriented, movement-building guide to closing the widening gap between the rich and everyone else in this country."--BOOK JACKET |
