America works, but only for the Financial Elite. In Getting America Back to Work, America's best known and foremost union organizer and an award-winning University economist show how to put money and power back into the hands of working families.

Dr. Richard Levins shows how ''money talks'' -- no, screams -- in Washington and on Wall Street. Stewart J. Acuff shows how organized people can get America back to working for ordinary Americans.
