by Victor Perlo

A selection from the rich legacy of the late Marxist economist taken from his columns in the "People's Weekly World, " 1960s thru the '90s. Readers will be somewhat amazed at how accurate and timely Perlo's approach and insight remains, how useful to the present. Through the administrations of 8 U.S. Presidents, Perlo exposed the budget scams that victimize working families; how the economic numbers are manipulated to lie, or tell only part of the truth.Topics include jobs, wages, profits, taxes, racism, housing, social security, the federal budgets, and more. A valuable resource and handbook for teachers, students, workers, trade unionists and social activists.
