Work Is for the People: A Treatise on the -Isms

Work is for the People is for everyone who cares about civil rights, human rights, and the rights of working people and consumers as well as those who believe that government is not automatically evil and incompetent.
The author reminds us that in a democracy, the system of work and the economy are supposed to be designed to benefit the people, not owners and bosses; he shows that corporatism is another name for fascism, and calls for a fairly-regulated capitalism in place of the travesty of the unelected, unregulated, and predatory capitalism we have now.
Despite its strong language, this is not a radical or extremist book. Readers interested in current events, the economy, politics from the local to the international arena, war and peace, and the place of religion in society need to be conversant with the nature of the various belief systems that drive public discourse.
This book is an equal-opportunity offender, skewering capitalism, communism, christianism, secularism, conservatism, liberalism, libertarianism, fascism, and their offshoots. It defines and explores each of these isms and describes their relationships to one another, and the relationship between their promises and their reality, from a liberal democratic viewpoint. Distorted and misused for at least since the rise of McCarthyism and the start of the cold war, they have corrupted American politics and undermined democratic liberalism everywhere in the western world and even in Eastern Europe.
The book is packed with quotations from mainstream media sources which, if you read closely, will acknowledge the darnedest things. See for yourself.
