"The Zero Sum Society" by Lester Thurow.

This was the late 1970s and Milton Friedman's teachings had not yet become the accepted wisdom. Commie dingbats like Thurow preached a fantasy of "your gain is my loss so lets forget this nonsense about making the pie bigger and just figure out how to cut it up in a way that's fair to everybody."

Is Thurow still alive? Too bad if he is.

I assume so, I have met him in person not so long time ago.

I remember Thurow from some of My college work . Noted conflict theorist, a sociology theory which leaned heavily on marxist/communist thought. My addition to the list would be "The color purple" by Alice Walker, the gist of which is "men suck, become a lesbian". If you saw the movie version, they toned down the lesbianism/feminist rhetoric that was in the book. Forced to read it in a 100 level lit. course.

Slainte,
