Inequality Matters: The Growing Economic Divide in America and Its Poisonous Consequences

I'll be out-of-town but I thought this was an a topic that would be of interest:

You¹re invited to the
BOSTON BOOK PARTY for

INEQUALITY MATTERS:
THE GROWING ECONOMIC DIVIDE IN AMERICA
AND ITS POISONOUS CONSEQUENCES (New Press, 2006)

Join United for a Fair Economy and Demos
for a book-signing and reception
for this exciting new book

With co-editors Jim Lardner and David Smith
and contributors Meizhu Lui and Betsy Leondar-Wright of UFE

Friday, January 6, 2006
4:30-6:30 PM
Atrium of the historic Mary Baker Eddy Library
200 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston

What could be more timely than this book? All around us we see the
results
of too many riches and clout at the top and too little for the rest. In
June
2004, UFE co-sponsored a national conference with Bill Moyers, Barbara
Ehrenreich, William Greider, Jim Wallis, Bob Kuttner and many other
thinkers
on inequality; this book is a collection of some of the most inspiring
speeches given that day.

€ Come buy the book for a special pre-publication price of $20.
€ Co-editors Jim Lardner and David Smith of Demos and contributors
including UFE¹s Meizhu Lui and Betsy Leondar-Wright will do a brief
presentation and be available to sign your copy.
€ Refreshments will be served.

Hope to see you there!

P.S. If you¹ve never seen it, this could be a good opportunity to visit
the
Boston landmark, the Mapparium, ³a view of the world turned inside-out.
Though you walk inside the sphere, you're not seeing the world as it
would
appear from the inside...you're seeing just the reverse,² according to
the
website.  Come early as the Mapparium and other exhibits at the complex
close at 4:00 PM. 

You can also keep your $5 parking space for an evening on the town.
