How to combine a law of physics, corrupt politics, undivided national wealth and greed unchecked in order to generate economic inequality and delusional prosperity. Now comes a book should be titled "Stolen Wealth. That would be more in line with its long subtitle: How the rich are taking our common heritage and why we should take back.

In today's world of economic misery, and it is up to you: Should there be higher taxes for the richestPeople in society? Gar Alperovitz and Lew Daly make a case very well that research shows that yields much of the remarkable success of the richest people in the ancestral knowledge that the company possesses. Incredible economic inequality that we see today is morally unacceptable.

Buy if President Obama and his economic advisers represented in many intellectual arguments in this book, which is very likely, so we can expect a strongPush for more federal taxes on income and higher capital gains and accumulated wealth through real estate taxes are higher. This book presents the central argument for such a policy, namely the incredible importance of knowledge inherited for long periods, which took up the basis for the economic success of some individuals. Its elegance, creativity and hard work can not explain their wealth disproportionate. E 'largely results from inheritedknowledge accumulated from the past.

Under this arrangement, it is not redistribution of wealth by the richest people on the other hand is more about the morally right and necessary measures to prevent the unjust and immoral ownership of wealth, a relatively small proportion of the population is really correct (albeit legally) reached.
