Robert Perrucci-THE NEW CLASS SOCIETY It is a sociological look at how corporations and elite economic and political structures have aided in making the rich richer and more powerful, while basically giving the institutional "finger" to the middle class and poor. Perrucci also touches on the idea of there no longer being a middle class in this country. He views society in terms of an 80/20 distribution. He believes that those who are not elite are simply working class rather than middle class. Visually speaking, he depicts society as being stratified in a sort of double diamond shape. The small diamond of course being the wealthy and the large diamond being just about everyone else. I would definitely say this is a must read. It offers a much neglected working class/non-elitist view of society, politics, and corporate power. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------ - Kwai-Chang Caine | ||

Anything by Ayn Rand (Objectivism!)... I'd also read as much about Socialism, Communism, Collectivism, Existentialism, Christianity (all religion!), and Altruism as you can get your hands, so that you have some contrast as to what Objectivism really is! ------------------ | ||

I'm reading "The Celestine Prophecy". It's fiction, but it's is very good, and could possibly be non-fiction. | ||
