ITEM OVERVIEW
Thoroughly illustrated 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.
Published in conjunction with United for a Fair Economy, an independent, nonpartisan organization dedicated to drawing public attention and an active response to the growth of economic inequality in the United States, the book looks at recent changes in income and wealth distribution and examines 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. Accessible and engaging, the book also lays out a comprehensive plan for action. Now in a new, updated edition, with a foreword by Juliet Schor.
