excellent clear look at reality
An outstanding, factually based look at who has what in the United States, the social stratification chart originated well before 1992. It was on the office wall in almost every office of a national labor-community organizaion I worked with in the 1980s. I recommend this without reservation to anyone who's interested in political work. I'm ordering the book assuming that it includes a look at the earlier versions. Nothing could more vividly illustrate the effects of the last few decades. Even apart from its social significance, it's a wonderful example of effective information design. Thanks, Dennis and Stephen!

Continued Excellence.
The author has again collected and presented the statistics of the american economy in a reasonably objective set of charts and tables. Don't buy into the spin presented from any politician, look at the data and decide for yourself.After several years of outrageous growth in the tech sector this should be mandatory reading for each one of us. As many of us watch NASDAQ and track the value of our options we need to understand where we really fit in the economy.
