Why—beyond the idle curiosity—do these questions even matter?

He goes beyond mere entertainment to explain why inequality matters, how it damages our economics prospects, and how it can threaten the foundations of the social order that we take for grantedRead full reviews of The haves and the have nots: the abuse of power and privilege in the workplace-- and how to control it.
