Killer Politics
By Ed Schultz

How can we stimulate the economy when the middle class, who historically has been responsible for growing our country, is struggling to make ends meet?

Ed Schultz, and author of KILLER POLITICS: How Big Money and Bad Politics Are Destroying the Great American Middle Class (Hyperion; June 1, 2010; Hardcover).

Ed Schultz, host of MSNBC's The Ed Show and a nationally syndicated progressive talk radio show, exposes the daily injustices that keep the middle class from thriving in his new book. Schultz explains that the richest Americans are growing exponentially wealthier, while the rest struggle to bear the financial and emotional burdens of an increasingly broken system. He tackles major national issues, from outsourcing jobs and education to tax policy and health care, with his trademark straight talk and common sense. He outlines "Big Ed's Four Pillars" that can help rebuild a vibrant middle class.
