FWIW: I have read several interesting books lately that might be of
interest to some on this list:
Democracy Lost, by Lawrence Lessig, Harvard Law professor - the
corrupting influence of money on Washington
The Price of Inequality, by Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics
- the increasing inequality in the US and its impact, as well as various
responses to conservative economic orthodoxies
It's Even Worse Than It Looks, by Thomas E. Mann (Brookings Institution)
and Norman J. Ornstein (American Enterprise Institute) - why congress is
almost completely ineffectual and what might be done about it.
