Sam Pizzigati's Blog: The Inequality Book Shelf - Posts Tagged "inequality"

Peter Dreier, one of America's top progressive political scientists, has caught the list bug of late. Dreier has a new book out, The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame, and late last month he chimed in with a list of this summer's top 15 books on "what ails America and how to fix it."
In the list's third slot, I'm pleased to note, my new book, The Rich Don't Always Win: The Forgotten Triumph over Plutocracy that Created the American Middle Class, 1900-1970.
Americans live, Dreier reminds us, in the only major nation without guaranteed paid time off. But most Americans still manage to find some time every summer to relax. If you're looking for a good read for one of those relaxing moments, check out Dreier's list. And if you'd like to get a richer taste of The Rich Don't Always Win, just click your way to the intro chapter online.

Ralph Nader has just come out with the second of this summer's suggested reading lists from veteran progressive activists and thinkers. His list features nine newly published titles, including my new book, The Rich Don't Always Win: The Forgotten Triumph over Plutocracy that Created the American Middle Class, 1900-1970

My new book, The Case for a Maximum Wage, has just been published in the United States. Want a taste of what the book posits? The Nation magazine has excerpted a passage.

Also on tap: a series of book events in the Washington, D.C. area to launch a discussion about the notion of capping income. The first event will be Tuesday, June 26, at the Economic Policy Institute. Check the events list on my profile page for more details.

And if you'd like to pick up a copy, the publisher has a special half-price pre-pub offer good all this month. Just use promo code PIZMW when ordering the paperback at politybooks.com through June 30.

Thanks!
