“The Betrayal of the American Dream” by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele looks like a great book. OK, I haven’t read it but I did read an excerpt in the Philadelphia Inquirer today. Today was the first of 4.

Barlett and Steele are award-winning investigative reporters (Pulitzer Prizes, National Magazine Awards and others) who document and discuss the betrayal of the middle class and the American dream.

If you think the upper class have used our government to their advantage and the disadvantage of the middle class, you should enjoy this book. If you haven’t quite made up your mind about the current decline of the middle class, this book may be enlightening. On the other hand if you are a member of the 1%, you may find this book aggravating.

I look forward to reading the rest of the excerpts and perhaps the book.
