"America's foremost opponent of inequality brilliantly shows how the 1 percent rigged the rules, looted the country, and got the ninety-nine percent to pay for it."--Juliet Schor, author of Born to Buy
 
Over recent decades, we've seen a radical redistribution of wealth upward to a tiny fraction of the population. In this book, activist Chuck Collins explains how it happened and marshals wide-ranging data to show exactly what the ninety-nine to one percent divide means in the real world and the damage it causes to individuals, businesses, and the earth. 
 
Most important, he answers the burning question: What can be done about it? He offers a common-sense guide to bringing about a society that works for everyone: the hundred percent. This is a struggle that can be won. After all, the odds are ninety-nine to one in our favor.
 
"This riveting tale of America as two cities will stay with you for years to come and--watch out! It may rouse you to action on the solutions that Collins spells out with perfect precision." --Charles Derber, author of The Pursuit of Attention
