Economic Apartheid in America
A primer on economic inequality and insecurity This updated edition of the widely touted Economic Apartheid in America looks at the causes and manifestations of wealth disparities in the United States, examining the recent changes in income and wealth distribution as well as the economic policies and shifts in power that have fueled the growing divide.
Praised by Sojourners as “a clear blueprint on how to combat growing inequality,” Economic Apartheid in America provides “much-needed groundwork for more democratic discussion and participation in economic life” (Tikkun), with a “wealth of eye-opening data” (The Beacon) 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 reveals how most Americans are shut out of discussions of the rules governing their economic lives- and tells us what we can do to become a part of the conversation.
Filled with charts, graphs, and political cartoons, Economic Apartheid in America is an action-oriented, movement-building guide to closing the gap between the rich and everyone else in this country.
