The Price of Inequality: How Today's Divided Society Endangers Our Future by Joseph E. Stiglitz

5.0

This paragraph from the book summed things up nicely for me...

"Investing more in our society- in education, technology, and infrastructure- and providing more security to ordinary citizens will lead to a more efficient and dynamic economy, one more consistent with what we claim to be and offering more opportunity to a wider segment of the society. Even the 1 percent (those who are there now) may benefit when the capabilities of so many at the bottom are not squandered. And many more people will have a shot at one day being in the 1 percent."
