ITEM OVERVIEW
Corporations and their political allies wage an unrelenting class war against working people. Privatization, the market, and level playing fields are the mantras of the day. CEOs tell workers to tighten their belts while their own wallets are bulging. Income inequality is more acute in the US than in any other industrialized country, even surpassing Britain. Glamorous Manhattan has disparities in wealth that exceed Guatemala. People are working longer hours, producing more, and earning less. Wages have been stagnant or declining for more than twenty years. The ranks of the poor have mushroomed. Meanwhile profits are at unprecedented levels.
Class War is vintage Chomsky. His astute analyses provide excellent tools for self-defense. His commitment, involvement, and accessibility are exemplary. It's no wonder that the New Statesman calls him "The conscience of the American people."
