This book was published in the early nineties right before the dotcom boom. It is an excellent explanation of what happened in the eighties and the problems we created because of tax cuts and corporations offshoring jobs and investments. It focuses on the excess of the super rich, income inequality, and corporations offshoring money. Nothing this book has talked about has been fixed. I find it fascinating that the arguments used by Trump on his base are here--your jobs are going off shore! Other countries aren't paying their share! The little guy is getting hurt! But somehow the argument in the book and its reasons have been twisted and now we have this disaster of a President telling the screwed over what they want to hear while Paul Ryan guts our tax system even further. The President and his cronies laundering money and peddling influence while raking in cash and the poor are only going to get poorer. Oh, and healthcare still hasn't been fixed. Do not read unless you want to feel very pessimistic. ( )

A damning look at the so called "Revolution" of the Reagan era. It was the gutting of American industry. ( )
