America:
Who Stole the Dream?
By Donald Bartlett
Andrews McMeel, October 1996 - 227 pages
A very
liberal read in my opinion but well written by Pulitzer Prize
winning journalists. The book primarily talks about
distribution of the wealth, the decline of the middle class
and the impact of globalization on many workers in the U.S. More

Free
Agent Nation
By
Daniel Pink
Warner Books, 2001 - 356 pages
This book does an excellent job in showing how the U.S.
employment market is truly changing in modern times. Instead
of being "captives of the organizational mode", income-earners
are now free agents as Pink puts it. More

Fast Food Nation
By Eric
Schlosser
HarperCollins, 2001 - 384 pages
Fast Food Nation is serious
brainfood; it might even help you supersize yours. I loved
reading this book as I think it is a good dose of reality with
obesity getting out of control in today's society.

industry and should be very interesting (and entertaining) for

industries. Great wireless history in this book! More

Nickel
and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America
By
Barbara Ehrenreich
Metropolitan Books, October 2001 - 221 pages
This
book sheds some light as to how many Americans have to,
unfortunately, live their lives. Unfortunately, the
author seems to ignore her own drug use, the lack of formal
education amongst her peers and lack of drive to get ahead in
the world. More

level of economics. More
