Summary

So said American patriot Tom Paine. He, like the other Founders, saw this country as a unique opportunity to build a society that valued the wellbeing of all of its people over the interests of the few.In the past 230 years, we’ve lost sight of Paine’s vision. Our government has adopted a YOYO (you’re-on-your-own) response in the face of even the most pressing national problems-diminished job security, the rising number of Americans without health coverage, stagnant incomes, decaying public…

Critics Review

“Jared Bernstein is to most economic writers what Red Bull is to decaf latte. In All Together Now he makes such a rousing case for mutual responsibility and shared risk that you’ll leap out of your chair and into action. Everyone in the sub-billionaire class needs to read this book and send a gift copy to his or her elected officials.” —Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch “This vitally important and readable book couldn’t have arrived at a better time. With common sense and common decency, Bernstein shows where we’ve gone off course and how to find our way back.” —Robert B. Reich, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley, and former U.S. Secretary of Labor “Jared Bernstein is a passionate economist who provides hard data to describe the world as it is, and ideas to make the world more just. All Together Now should be read and debated by all who know that the status quo is failing us and seek a daring and bracing examination of the reasons for our discontent.” —E. J. Dionne, syndicated columnist, author of Why Americans Hate Politics and Stand Up Fight Back, and Professor, Georgetown University
