Robert Kuttner: the Squandering of America November 12, 2007

Robert Kuttner has established himself as one of our most lucid economic and political critics. Through his book 'The Squandering of America: How the Failure of Our Politics Undermines Our Prosperity,' He demonstrates how political choices about the economy have been captured by a narrow economic class, with four out of five Americans less prosperous than thirty-five years ago, while the top ten percent has pulled away. He points the way to a very different path for citizens to reclaim an economy of broad prosperity.
