Collins Lifts the Hood on The Inequality Engine. HOW DID IT HAPPEN? Mike Collins, manufacturing guru, tells the tale of how today s economic inequality was assembled from a combination of money, lobbying, a seductive economic philosophy, and average Americans unaware of the true consequences. The result? Today s Winner Take All economy. Collins shows us how step by step that inequality was created, sold, and manufactured. He clearly tells us the difference between the Democratic Capitalism that grew our nation s middle class, and the Free Market Capitalism that turned the tables. He also helps us understand how the manufacturing sector that was the engine for half a century of middle class growth was sacrificed and outsourced by this same economic philosophy. Chicago columnist Don Rose call this book a valuable tool for understanding the most destructive issue of our time next to climate change. As Mike Collins details how and why income has redistributed upward from the working middle class to the top 10% and eventually the 1%.
