Through his nightly CNN show, Lou Dobbs Tonight, his
syndicated radio program, and his monthly magazine column,
Lou Dobbs has become one of America’s most visible, popular,
and respected voices on business and financial matters. Now,
with War on the Middle Class, Dobbs takes an impassioned and
rousing stance on the all-out class war that is turning the
American dream into a nightmare. The middle class has never been so vulnerable. Its every
feature is under assault by politicians and the lobbyists
who court them, big-business corporations that are sending
their jobs overseas, and a media that relies on
sensationalism instead of facts when reporting the news. In
a sweeping analysis, Dobbs looks at every aspect of the
decline of the middle class—from a lack of political
representation to America’s corrupt health-care system—to
demonstrate how the gap between America’s newest haves and
have-nots is no longer merely financial, but instead
includes the erosion of education, employment, government,
and community. Dobbs proposes a series of measures to
resolve each issue and incite people, whose future is being
mortgaged to benefit a powerful few, to preserve their
rights and dreams. War on the Middle Class is provocative,
incendiary, and bound to be widely discussed—the perfect
book to establish the terms of debate in this year’s midterm
elections.
