Crunch: If the Economy's Doing So Well, Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? (BK Currents) by Jared Bernstein

ogreart's review against another edition

5.0

This audiobook is something of an anomaly--a book on economics written by a liberal leaning economist rather than a conservative leaning one, as is so common. This is the second time I have listened to it, but probably not the last. It is refreshing to see theories that take a different approach from the ones that have caused so much inequity in our economy. And not, it is not a redistribute the wealth from rich to poor book. I recommend this on highly.

Reread--1st reading was 9 March 2009

Excellent. Great explanation of the intertwined worlds of economics, politics and powers. Great, progressive ideas. The author talks from the "We're All in this Together" frame of reference rather than the "You're on Your Own" and "I Did it All on My Own So Why Can't You?" frames of reference. Well worth the read, or in this case listen.
