It's now fashionable to assume that the American welfare state, begun with the New Deal and steadily expanded until recently, was the root of many of society's problems. But Kapstein argues that the social safety nets of government programs actually made American prosperity possible in the 20th century (as it did in European societies going back to the 16th century). And, conversely, that a return to 19th-century-style economic Darwinism would halt that prosperity. Kapstein believes we need a global economy. His concern, though, is for the workers whose lives are affected by these shifts. While Sharing the Wealth is an academic work, Kapstein's passion for his thesis is clear on every page. There's something here for any reader interested in business, politics, history, or economics. --Lou Schuler
