Political writer Mollie Reilly has a good article on Huffington Post about the recent popularity of books on income inequality and the shrinking of the middle class. The article points out that three of the current top five sellers at Amazon.com have something to do with this issue.
Isn’t it interesting that people who care about this are buying the books through corporate giant Amazon, helping to make one of the wealthiest men in the United States even richer? If those buyers are sincerely concerned about the demise of the middle class, why don’t they buy their books from their local independent bookstore?
