I’m interested in a multitude of things, including social justice, socialism, history, poetry, magical realism (fiction), capitalism, race and class struggle, plus stuff like wine, baseball and music.
So mostly non-fiction, though I read maybe two novels per year and maybe one poetry collection.

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.

Very enjoyable, an easy read and so informative. I know much more about all three of these women than when I began the book. All of them were trailblazers. Much respect.

A phenomenal book. At times appalling, it provides a profound education from start to finish. Everyone in America should read this book to understand the depths of this issue, as ingrained as it is in our national DNA.

@kingrat thanks lots for doing that!
@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!

To me, this book is so crucial to understanding the media, politics and culture. You have to climb the mountain of Stuart’s vocabulary if, like me, your own is of a more pedestrian variety. But his perspective on how things ‘are’ and how we got here, even when some of these essays are several decades old, is so insightful. I’m very glad that I read this. Thanks for the education.
