PoliSci Majors former undergraduate T.A.
This book will give you a refreshing look about the inequalities between the rich and the poor and how the middle class is squeezed out in America. In order to get updated statistics, you might also want to consider reading the eigth edition, which is copyrighted 2008. This book explores inconsistencies in laws and how certain wealthy groups run the majority of the country. Even if you do not agree with this book this is required reading and if I was teaching a course in American Politics you will be required to read, write, and discuss the topics in it.
