Description
"Frank Stricker has done the nation an important service, wisely analyzing the history of unemployment, and our attempts to redress this problem. By exposing our failures as well as our successes, he provides a badly needed template for action."-Robert Slayton, author of Empire Statesman: The Rise and Redemption of Al Smith "A truly accessible explanation of what ails the U.S. economy accompanied by clear explanations of progressive solutions to these problems. I can think of no other book that even tries to cover this ground as comprehensively, with such easy to navigate chapters, and such easy to understand prose. If you can read a newspaper, you can understand this book. A joy to read, even when you disagree with the author, and a great discussion starter."-Philip L. Harvey, coauthor of America's Misunderstood Welfare State: Persistent Myths, Enduring Realities
