              for a Fair  Economy                                          
                                                                           
              All  Together Now: Common Sense for a Fair Economy — by      
              Jared  Bernstein, senior economist of the Economic Policy    
              Institute — explores  how the modern-day "you're on your     
              own" approach, or YO-YO Economics, has  trumped a sense of   
              collaboration and joint responsibility (a WITT — "we're  in  
              this together"— strategy) and thus distorted America's       
              current  political and economic debate. The book shows how   
              runaway self-reliance  not only has unbalanced the economic  
              and political discourse, but also,  and more importantly,    
              has hamstrung efforts to develop effective solutions  to     
              shared social and economic problems.                         
                                                                           
              A Chorus  of Praise...                                       
                                                                           
              Jared  Bernstein is to most economic writers what Red Bull   
              is to decaf latte. In  All Together Now he makes such a      
              rousing case for mutual  responsibility and shared risk that 
              you'll leap out of your chair and into  action. Everyone in  
              the sub-billionaire class needs to read this book and  send  
              a gift copy to his or her elected officials.                 
              —Barbara  Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed and Bait    
              and Switch                                                   
                                                                           
              This  vitally important and readable book couldn't have      
              arrived at a better  time. With common sense and common      
              decency, Bernstein shows where we've  gone off course and    
              how to find our way back.                                    
              —Robert B. Reich,  Professor of Public Policy, University of 
              California at Berkeley, and  former U.S. Secretary of Labor  
                                                                           
              Jared  Bernstein is a passionate economist who provides hard 
              data to describe the  world as it is, and ideas to make the  
              world more just. All Together  Now should be read and        
              debated by all who know that the status quo is  failing us   
              and seek a daring and bracing examination of the reasons for 
              our discontent.                                              
              —E. J. Dionne, syndicated columnist, author of  Why          
              Americans Hate Politics and Stand Up Fight Back, and         
              Professor at Georgetown University                           
                                                                           
              Jared  Bernstein provides a smart look at the American       
              economy, one deeply rooted  in American values. All Together 
              Now explains the importance of  having an economy that puts  
              people first and ensures a fair shake for  all.
