FITHIAN PRESS EXPOSING THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA FOR AMERICA'S WORKERS "Kelly mans the ramparts again, this time to beat back the endless barrage fired by Business Week, Barron's, Fortune, Forbes, and the Wall Street Journal. Kelly uses direct quotes from these publications to document the many ways the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer." --Booklist (8/00)   According to Charles M. Kelly, conservatives, as a matter of policy and strategy, are waging financial warfare against working-class Americans. They've been waging this class war successfully for twenty years, throughout the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations. Who is Charles Kelly, and by what authority does he make such a statement? He is a highly respected author and university-level teacher with a Ph.D. in industrial communications, and his warnings and opinions are as articulate as they are provocative. But in his new book, Class War in America, Kelly largely lets the economic conservatives speak for themselves. Quoting extensively from such influential publications as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Barron's, and Business Week, Kelly demonstrates the clear intention of the conservative establishment to benefit corporations, executives, and investors at the expense of the lower- and middle-income workers on whom they depend. The term "workers," by the way, does not refer only to manual laborers. In the modern class struggle, "workers" are also the engineers, scientists, computer programmers, and other professionals whose wages are kept under strict control in order to inflate profits for the conservative powers in control. What can Americans do about this situation? They can be informed, and they can vote. Class War in America appears on the eve of a national election, while Americans are listening to politicians and deciding which ones to place in office. Financial conservatives have their allies in the political arena, and voters concerned about the exploitation of workers in America will take their concerns to the ballot box. Charles Kelly's book is a wake-up call to anyone who hasn't noticed what's been happening in the past twenty years. For those already concerned about the problem, the book offers a guided tour of the conservative strategy, documented by the conservative press. Read a review of this book! Charles M.
