Specificatii
As inequality grabs headlines, steals the show in presidential
debates, and drives deep divides between the haves and have nots in
America, class war brews. On one side, the wealthy wield power and
advantage, wittingly or not, to keep the system operating in their
favor--all while retreating into enclaves that separate them
further and further from the poor and working class. On the other
side, those who find it increasingly difficult to keep up or get
ahead lash out--waging a rhetorical war against the rich and
letting anger and resentment, however justifiable, keep us from
seeing new potential solutions. But can we suspend both class wars
long enough to consider a new way forward? Is it really good for
anyone that most of society's wealth is pooling at the very top of
the wealth ladder? Does anyone, including the one percent, really
want to live in a society plagued by economic apartheid? It is time
to think differently, says longtime inequality expert and activist
Chuck Collins. Born into the one percent, Collins gave away his
inheritance at 26 and spent the next three decades mobilizing
against inequality. He uses his perspective from both sides of the
divide to deliver a new narrative. Collins calls for a ceasefire
and invites the wealthy to come back home, investing themselves and
their wealth in struggling communities. And he asks the non-wealthy
to build alliances with the one percent and others at the top of
the wealth ladder. Stories told along the way explore the roots of
advantage, show how taxpayers subsidize the wealthy, and reveal how
charity, used incorrectly, can actually reinforce extreme
inequality. Readers meet pioneers who are crossing the divide to
work together in new ways, including residents in the author's own
Boston-area neighborhood who have launched some of the most
interesting community transition efforts in the nation. In the end,
Collins's national and local solutions not only challenge
inequality but also respond to climate change an
