I recently finished What's the Matter with Kansas? It was very angry; a ittle too much for my liking. Nevertheless it does a good job of explaining why so many poor and middle class folks vote against their own economic interest due to impeccable moral superiority (sarcasm btw)
I'm really enjoying this book Planet Simpson, which talks about how everyday Americans were the inspiration for the characters, and then consequently how the show has an effect on America. It's filled with biting social commentary + you'll love it if you like the show.
The End of Poverty is another one I'm getting into: talks about every nation's strengths and resources and how we could possibly use all of those to effectively eliminate poverty in the next 50 years. Happy Reading.
