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

4.0

This is a great book for those without a background on political science or economics. It provides a good synthesis of the factors that led to the inequality we see in America today. The lack of true social mobility is staggering is largely ignored by many as America is the supposed land of opportunity, but Stiglitz shows otherwise. It goes beyond theory to explain the reality of the situation and how it happened and how to stop it. Unfortunately, those that it would most effect (people who disagree) are unlikely to read it.
