Thom Hartmann's "Independent Thinker" Book of the Month

Thom Hartmann's Recommendation

Class war by the rich against the working class has been openly declared in America several times – the gilded age is a good example – but few are as obvious, calculated, and well covered-up as the class warfare declared against average Americans by the so-called "conservatives" beginning with the Reagan administration. In "Class War In America," Charles Kelly lays bare the core of this war against the American middle class, its origins, and its methods.

The author of an earlier book titled "The Great Limbaugh Con," Kelly knows how to write in a compelling fashion (despite the fact that he has a Ph.D. in industrial communications and teaches at the university level). "Class War In America" is startling, revelatory, filled with factoids and ammunition for the water cooler wars, and is also the sort of book that you pick up on a Saturday afternoon and can’t put down until bedtime when you’ve finished it.

More about "Class War in America" | back to top

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.
