With economic consultant, Dr. Jack Hopper, we review the new books about the
depredations of the ruling class on the rest of us during the Reagan-Bush years, and the devastating effects they have had on the American people and the US political and economic system. The books--"America, What Went Wrong?" and "The Overworked American: The Unexpected Decline Of Leisure" --are presented along with a mention of past books, such as  "The Crisis of Democracy," to show that the social contract which has existed since the New Deal of FDR was broken during the Republican years, resulting in the impoverishment of US citizens and dismantling, not only of much of the American productive economy, but also of the institutions of social and economic support for the people.
