Description

In It Could Happen Here, Bruce Judson, author of Go It Alone!, explains why revolution is possible in the United States—and makes the most disturbing case yet for why our economics are leading us inevitably toward a just such a crisis. Underscoring the historically dangerous levels of inequality in our country today, It Could Happen Here “will cause you to think about the risks for a nation divided between haves and have nots.” (Walter Isaacson)

Reviews

“It Could Happen Here arrives at a critical time, as we face economic inequality that could threaten the vitality of our middle class. Judson’s provocative thesis will cause you think about the risks for a nation divided between have’s and have not’s.” — Walter Isaacson, author of EINSTEIN and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

“Bruce Judson’s It Could Happen Here highlights a crucial issue for the future of our nation: How unequal can America get before we snap?” — Robert Reich, author of SUPERCAPITALISM and Fmr. Secretary of Labor

“The middle class is scared and it should be. In effect, we are conducting an enormous social and political experiment—something like putting a pressure cooker on the stove over a full flame and waiting to see how long it takes to explode.” — Lester C. Thurow, author of THE FUTURE OF CAPITALISM and THE ZERO-SUM SOCIETY

“[Judson’s] book will excite argument and discussion, serving as an excellent springboard for considering these important, timely issues.” — Booklist
