Summary: excellent clear look at reality
Review: An outstanding, factually based look at who has what in the United States, the social stratification chart originated well before 1992. It was on the office wall in almost every office of a national labor-community organizaion I worked with in the 1980s. I recommend this without reservation to anyone who's interested in political work. I'm ordering the book assuming that it includes a look at the earlier versions. Nothing could more vividly illustrate the effects of the last few decades. Even apart from its social significance, it's a wonderful example of effective information design. Thanks, Dennis and Stephen!

Summary: Continued Excellence.
Review: The author has again collected and presented the statistics of the american economy in a reasonably objective set of charts and tables. Don't buy into the spin presented from any politician, look at the data and decide for yourself. After several years of outrageous growth in the tech sector this should be mandatory reading for each one of us. As many of us watch NASDAQ and track the value of our options we need to understand where we really fit in the economy.

Summary: What the Politicians don't want you to know
Review: This useful poster and text shows the true facts regarding the discrepancy between Americans when it comes to income and wealth. The poster is an incredibly user-friendly visual way to look at the results of incredible amounts of census data and statistical analysis. It shows very clearly what politicians don't want you to know - that the majority of the wealth in our country is in the hands of the few; that women and minorities make less than white men; the distribution of job types and salaries across races, ages, genders.
It is totally awesome.
