1.0 out of 5 stars leftist, communist, trash theories, August 27, 2010
By 
This review is from: The New Field Guide to the U.S. Economy: A Compact and Irreverent Guide to Economic Life in America (Paperback)
Lefty pinko trash. Published in conjunction with a far left economic think tank. Most of it's members list Karl Marx as an influence to their thoughts. Howard Zinn was an advisory member. If those facts don't clue you in, I don't know what would.
