Reviews

"Innovative and fascinating, Class War? is the only book I know of that investigates public attitudes about inequality with an open mind. Benjamin Page and Lawrence Jacobs make a sensible, lucid, and broadly persuasive argument that although Americans tend to identify with conservative philosophies, they also favor egalitarian policies when those policies are presented in pragmatic terms." - James K. Galbraith, author of The Predator State"
