If you want to find a lot of statistics about wealth inequality, this is your book. Some of them are shocking--and troubling. The author also does a good job of dissecting the reasons for this inequality. But he is on less sure ground with possible s...more

Ellen Keim rated a book 3 of 5 stars The Boyfriend by Thomas Perry read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
