Excellent no nonsense book.

We all know that there are SERIOUS social and economic problems facing this country, (and the world). It is often impossible to argue this case, even though, in a visceral sense, we know it is true. This book lays out the 'economic indicators', in a straight forward way, such that we, the lay people can not only understand them, but also equip ourselves to set forth a strong argument, with the skeptics, the politicians and the corporate monstors in their own language. I would highly recommend it. But is is not really light reading ! However, it is concise.
