An excellent primer on the changes that American Capitalism and organized labor have gone through over the past few decades. Fairly heavy on economic and labor statistics, the book nonetheless is written in an approachable style and offers strategies for labor’s reacendence as a force to counter Capitalism in the 21st century.

@talzag It's great. I took me a long time to get through it, as the lingo was quite the speed bump at first. But he so well articulates his perspective with depth and context. It's really an education. My shelves have a lot of books that I didn't have when I began this book, and that's thanks to him. It's just the beginning of a great adventure. I hope you enjoy it!
