"Low-Wage Capitalism" by Fred Goldstein
http://www.lowwagecapitalism.com/

This is one of the great books I have read in a long time. Fred really lays it out.

It's not stereotypical "far-left" rhetoric either. Its sourced, documented, and non-sectarian. It lays out a strategy for getting out of the new great depression.

It's not an ad for his party, its an add for fighting back against the rich, corporate, capitalists.

"With the capitalist system demonstrably unfair, irrational, and prone to intermittent crises, it is useful, indeed refreshing, to see a Marxist analysis of globalization and its effects on working people. Fred Goldstein's LOW-WAGE CAPITALISM does exactly that ."

- Howard Zinn

"Lucid, deeply accurate and informative, as relevant and useful as a book can be, Goldstein offers a compelling analysis of the exploitative world of global corporate capitalism."

- Michael Parenti,
author of Contrary Notions

2. This comment must be by the other Clarence Thomas:
"Low wage capitalism by Fred Goldstein is a most timely and important work, as the working class prepares for a ¨fightback¨ during the greatest crisis of capitalism since the great depression."

- Clarence Thomas,
ILWU Local 10 and co chair of the Million Worker March Movement


Sounds like an interesting book.
