So I recently completed Winner-Take-All Politics by Jacob Hacker. I often felt like just throwing this book against the wall while I was reading it. Not because it was poorly written, but just because what it had to say was so true and so well presented that I felt like going out and joining OWS or something. Anyway this nicely pulled together a lot of social/economic data that I was aware of from a variety of sources, offered a clear explanation about how this all came about, and offered some suggestions for how to build a better future. All of this well documented with extensive footnotes.
