Peter Dreier, one of America's top progressive political scientists, has caught the list bug of late. Dreier has a new book out, The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame, and late last month he chimed in with a list of this summer's top 15 books on "what ails America and how to fix it."
In the list's third slot, I'm pleased to note, my new book, The Rich Don't Always Win: The Forgotten Triumph over Plutocracy that Created the American Middle Class, 1900-1970.
Americans live, Dreier reminds us, in the only major nation without guaranteed paid time off. But most Americans still manage to find some time every summer to relax. If you're looking for a good read for one of those relaxing moments, check out Dreier's list. And if you'd like to get a richer taste of The Rich Don't Always Win, just click your way to the intro chapter online.
