In his vivid descriptive style, prize-winning author Peter H. Michael recounts his classic 12,000-mile road trip taking in the expansive variety of people and places of the United States. Michael set out not to fathom the country in search of America as Steinbeck, Kerouac and Least Heat-Moon had but to listen and let America tell him whatever it might. Tell it did. Michael listens to Americans finally awakening to the income and wealth gaps which over the past generation have eroded the middle class and hit the poor hardest of all. In clear punchy style, he demolishes plutocrat arguments in an eminently readable exposé on how the super-rich and largest corporations purchase economic inequality.
