Profit Pathology and Other Indecencies

By Michael Parenti

Book Overview

In this book, Michael Parenti investigates how class power is a central force in our political life and, yet, is subjected to little critical discernment. He notes how big-money interests shift the rules of the game in their favor while unveiling the long march by reactionaries to undo all the gains of social democracy since the New Deal. Parenti demonstrates the impact of monomaniacal profit accumulation on social services and human values, and takes us one step further, showing how unrestrained capitalism ultimately endangers itself and threatens us all. Finally, he calls for a solution based on democratic diversity and public ownership, "because it works."
