Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The United States is not a middle class society. Michael Zweig shows that the majority of Americans are actually working class and argues that recognizing this fact is essential if that majority is to achieve political influence and social strength. "Class", Zweig writes, "is primarily a matter of power, not income".
Book News Annotation:
Zweig (economics, State U. of New York-Stony Brook) argues that the
US is a working-class rather than middle-class society, and that
self- interest is not enough to reap capitalism's benefits. Includes
a resource guide.
