It was given to me by my amazing old boss, thank you Ben! I'm not even a quarter of the way through and I'm angry. It is really deepening my understanding of why everyone, a la Occupy around the world, is and should be so very angry; because a few people run EVERYTHING and those people do not want what is best for the rest of us (or not primarily at least), they want to fill their giant mansions with loot and jump into an Olympic sized swimming pool of money. Do not be mistaken, these people are not stupid, they're clever. But they're evil.
Read this book then comment.
Here's a quick excerpt.
'A more accurate term for a system that erases the boundaries between Big Government and Big Business is not liberal, conservative or capitalist but corporatist. Its main characteristics are huge transfers of public wealth to private hands, often accompanied by exploding debt, an ever-widening chasm between the dazzling rich and the disposable poor and an aggressive nationalist that justifies bottomless spending on security. For those inside the bubble of extreme wealth created by such an arrangement, there can be no more profitable a way to organize a society.'
