Examines how the economy operates, focusing on the concentration of power in the biggest corporations and banks, and discusses classism, labor, the social democracy, and taxing the rich. Includes humorous illustrations by Steve Brodner, whose work appears in The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and The Nation. For general readers.
