This review is from: Rethinking the Income Gap: The Second Middle Class Revolution (Hardcover)
If you identify yourself as a right wing conservative, then you will probably come away from this book feeling you found significant support for your argument against the supposed "liberal economic conspiracy." Mr. Ryscavage used a considerable amount of statistics while attempting to support his main thesis: that liberal leaders and the "liberal" media are distorting the facts about the ever-widening gap between the top two percent wealthy in the U.S. and the middle-class. The main problem with his argument is that his statistics are twisted and or fragmented so it could be used to support his claims. He consistently reverted to demanding that more research and investigation needs to be done because, according to him, the current body of evidence supporting the wealth gap is not complete. One would read his words and ponder, "shouldn't Mr. Ryscavage be doing that in this book?" In conclusion, this book is merely a text of politically-based opinions, not a credible body of economic research that unbiased and objective economists can agree on. Therefore, I do not recommend reading this book.
