In the past two years I have recommended three books:
1. Backlash by Will Bunch;
2. Free Lunch by David Cay Johnston;
3. Greedy Bastards by Dylan Rattigan.
I now add:
4. The Price of Justice by Laurence Leamer.
It's the true story of how people with money get a different type of justice than people without and it reads like a great legal thriller.
Well-researched and precise in detail, The Price of Justice is a long read, but worth every minute and it should be must-reading for every legislator and political candidate. Anyone who helped pass "Citizens United" should read it.
I truly believe you are missing out if you don't read these books.
The Price of Justice is not a fun, beach read. It's a serious examination about how people with money can try to buy the law and then tell you how to live. That's too dangerous a path for this country to take.
About Me
- Mickey Gee
- Bronx, New York, United States
- I was politically weaned by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union and the United Auto Workers, where I was a shop steward and wrote the political column for the local union newspaper. I also worked for the C.I.O. Political Action Committee and have long campaigned for candidates sympathetic to workers' rights. I am not an ideologue, I don't speak a party line and have never been or plan to be a flak for any party or candidate. I do not profess that my view is the only correct view. So please feel free to disagree with me - we may learn from each other.
