The book i didn't read

WEALTH AND DEMOCRACY by Kevin Phillips.

it's one of the books i checked out from the library. i got as far as the end of the Introduction -- not because it's a badly written book or because it's useless. i just didn't care. as facinating as a political history of the American rich is, i couldn't face reading something i cared so little about. So, the mysteries of America's history as seen through the eyes of an economist, and the resulting class warfare that's an integreal part of that will have to wait to be appreciated by someone other than me.
