Powerful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This was David Gordon's last book, as he was unfortunately felled shortly after its release by an untimely heart attack. The depth of scholarship and passion this man brought to "Fat and Mean" makes his passing especially sad. Gordon's book exhibits his twin strengths of intellectual acumen and the ability to write plainly, without much jargon.Gordon's book should be read by partisans of both right and left, mostly because the typical book (ideological orientation aside) on economic policy is dismal. Its thesis--that US workers are being crushed by in a squeeze play by the American managerial class--is backed up by extensive references and research. If you are seeking a provocative look at the state of workers today, this book deserves your prompt attention.
