Book: The New Field Guide to the U.S. Economy by Nancy Folbre

Paperback, 1995. Excellent condition, still like new. No tears, no writing, no yellowing, no wear. A Compact and Irreverent Guide to Economic Life in America. Cover illustration by Tom Tomorrow. "Quite possibly the best and most certainly the least solemn guide to the dismal science you are likely soon to encounter." ~John Kenneth Galbraith "Established in 1990 as a major alternative to the large commercial publishing houses, the New Press amplifies progressive voices for a more inclusive, just, and equitable world. As a nonprofit public-interest publisher, we leverage books, diverse voices, and media engagement to facilitate social change, enrich public discourse, and defend democratic values" This is a sharply witty and informative book. Today's plutocrats are still raiding the public coffers, so the statistics here are unfortunately just as relevant today as they were when it was published.
