The Global Class War (Wiley) is a provocative new book by the Economic Policy Institute's founding president and Distinguished Fellow, Jeff Faux. In it, Faux shows how America's leaders have become part of a global elite – the Party of Davos – that is undercutting the living standards of working people here and abroad. He concludes with an original step-by-step strategy for making the global economy accountable to its ordinary citizens, beginning in North America.

[gee, didn't a certain Democratic Senator and former Presidential candidate attend the recent Davos shindig?]

Publishers Weekly calls the book: "Incisive." William Grieder: "Really important." Robert Kuttner: "This book should transform public discourse in America."

[the usual suspects. I doubt that Kuttner is right, if indeed he was making a prediction.]
