New from the EPI
All Together Now : Common Sense for a Fair Economy — by Jared Bernstein, senior economist of the Economic Policy Institute — explores how modern-day hyper-individualism has trumped a sense of collaboration and joint responsibility and thus, distorted America's current political and economic debate. The book shows how runaway self-reliance not only has unbalanced the economic and political discourse, but also, and more importantly, has hamstrung efforts to develop effective solutions to shared social and economic problems.
Obviously I am not a fan of the title or description (hyper-individualism??!!), but it should be an interesting read. Still, I am not sure if it is worth the price. Would anybody like to review it?
It looks like there site is down right now, but here is the EPI link.
