Guess What You Are Now? Engineers, Ph.D.s, computer programmers, scientists, and other professionals are all designated "workers" under the conservative agenda Financial conservatives own Congress and the presidency. Class Warfare in America, with the help of the journals it quotes, makes it clear that what counts in today's economy are power and the laws that control incomes.

About the Author:

Charles M. Kelly holds a Ph.D. in industrial communications from Purdue University. He has taught courses and conducted seminars in communication, ethics and management at Syracuse University, California State University, SUNY, Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institutes of Management. He is the author of The Destructive Achiever-Power and Ethics in the American Corporation (Addison-Wesley, 1988). He lives in Tega Cay, South Carolina.

From Booklist:

Kelly is the author of The Great Limbaugh Con and Other Right-Wing Assaults on Common Sense (1994), in which he countered many of the outspoken conservative broadcaster's daily assertions. Kelly mans the ramparts again, this time to beat back the endless barrage fired by Business Week, Barron's, Fortune, Forbes, and the Wall Street Journal. Kelly uses direct quotes from these publications to document the many ways the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. He warns that we continue to be conned into believing that free trade, technological development, income tax cuts, and deregulation all help everyone. The truth, insists Kelly, is that only "the top 20 percent of Americans" benefit. In particular, he charges that the effect--and intent--of policies to promote growth and check inflation are really to control income levels. Throughout, Kelly is unabashedly partisan; "never, ever, vote for a Republican, anywhere, for anything," he rails. David Rouse
