In fact, this is the book that I've wanted to write for some time. Amidst, all the talk about 'framing', poll driven hand-wringing about progressives lacking vision, needing new ideas, etc., etc, this book cuts right to the chase and lays out a straitforward political vision (and by an economist, to boot!). It's well-written (with trademark Bernstein wit), simple and should be read by lots and lots of people. And this is the kind of book you can organize with. I could take this into any environment -- a union hall, church group, legislative session, even business groups -- and find heads nodding.
I'm going to make required reading and plan on distributing to many others.
