The Undeclared War: Class Conflict in the Age of Cyber Capitalism

As the title implies, this book deals with the current class war being waged against the working and middle classes. This book gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of the current capitalist system and how it is rigged against wage earners, which is essentially 99% of the entire population. The book is filled with interesting details that put things into perspective. We learn, for example, that the three richest people in the United States have as much wealth as the bottom 100 million people. Furthermore, taxes paid by rich individuals and corporations have been decreasing over the past decades and the working/middle classes have seen their taxes increase. Most people who view themselves as middle class tend to think that they are "upwardly mobile" but the truth is that very few make it to the very top of the economic ladder and end up living from paycheck to paycheck.
