Recommended Book for Reading

"Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism", by Kevin Phillips. This is Phillips' thirteenth book, and all have been poignant and quite interesting. Most of Phillips' works concern contemporary history, public policy, and economics. He did an exhaustive biography of the 25th President, William McKinley. Phillips' books do an intensive analyis of contemporary political, economic, and social environments and contexts and do a superb job of making conclusions and future outlooks that are usually uncannily accurate and presentiment. Many whom have read the book or listened to any of Phillips' presentations or interviews are described as having a "sobering" reaction to the content, conclusions, and implications discussed in his book as well as to many of his past works which have been widely read and well received.
