Read what others say about his book. Office and Professional Employees Union National President Nancy Wohlforth said it's high time "to seriously begin public discussion and debate of economic alternatives" he proposes. They're cutting edge and vital.
South Carolina AFL-CIO President Donna DeWitt offered praise, saying Rasmus "connects the dots and gives new meaning to common sense economics."

That makes perfect sense. Why didn't I think of that?' Then ask yourself, 'Why wouldn't our President think of that?' "
"When you've read the book, I'm confident that you will conclude that Rasmus has done a brilliant job of defining the impact of the Obama policies and decisions" that continue crisis conditions without letup.
