Screwed by Thom Hartmann
The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class and What We Can Do About It
Argues that over recent decades a deliberate set of political and economic policies — from deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy to outsourcing, privatization, attacks on unions and skewed trade agreements — has hollowed out the middle class and transferred wealth and political power to corporate and financial elites; traces the historical development of this shift and shows how media, lobbying, and campaign finance reinforce it. The author outlines practical prescriptions to reverse the trend, including progressive taxation, stronger labor rights, public investment in infrastructure and education, banking and campaign-finance reform, and renewed democratic engagement to restore broadly shared prosperity.
