American

Infuriated by government corruption, incensed by "banksters" shaking down taxpayers, and despairing of the healthcare system, the dependency on foreign oil, and the failing educational system, Dylan Ratigan sees an America that is botched almost beyond repair. In this book, his first, he rips the lid off of the deeply crooked system-and offers a way out. The American public knows that the game is rigged. The stats back it up: Unemployment has exploded to near 25-year highs, now approaching 10%, even as the Great Recession has supposedly ended. Fifteen million homeowners are now underwater in their mortgages, the richest 1% of the nation now takes home 24% of the wealth, up from 9% in 1976. Dylan Ratigan understands the rot at America's core, and he's not afraid to call it for what it is. Ratigan is this movement's mouthpiece, and this book is a compilation of brash and fresh solutions for building a new and better America.
