Stephen Rodnesky's "A Broken Covenant"

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews Stephen Rodnesky's "A Broken Covenant" about wealth disparity, which he believes, is caused by national tax policies since the 1980's. The paper author repeatedly stresses that, although Rodnesky presents an enormous amount of statistical evidence that could have been overwhelming, everything is explained clearly and the tone of the book, while serious, is easy-going, understandable and convincing. The paper states that Rodnesky has some suggestions for interested readers such as letting their representatives know that they are not satisfied with the current tax structure.

From the Paper:

"I must admit that I approached "A Broken Covenant" with a certain degree of cynicism. Many books of this type are more polemic than objective; the writing is frequently murky, stilted and/or convoluted; and there can be a tendency to become very "creative" with the facts in order to make a particularly convincing point. However, in this case I was pleasantly surprised. A Broken Covenant is very well written, and there is an attitude of reasonable discussion, not ranting or melodrama."
