How the 1% will define the 2012 Elections?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
District of Columbia, District of Columbia, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 3, 2012 -- Cannibal Capitalism is not just another book on the financial crisis of 2007-2008. It's a first hand, personal account of the factors that have put the US economy on its knees for the average citizen. This is an important book.

Author Michael C. Hill is not a reporter; he writes from his perspective as the owner of a $40 million business, a specialty home building firm at the time the housing bubble burst. Hill also provides a helpful history of the American Capitalist system, and how it has broken down. So as we learn from him, we also realize how he suffered as a result of the crisis. Hill looks deeply and critically at many factors, including economic, political, technological and environmental, that have influenced our decline.

But Hill doesn't just complain or describe the problems and underlying causes. He provides thoughtful and provocative potential solutions that offer hope and a positive path forward: fortify and expand the middle-class (instead of wealth concentration); encouraging small business growth; expanding educational opportunity and focus on increasing skills needed in the workplace; provide universal health care; invest in renewable energy sources, and other ambitious, serious and far-reaching proposals.

Most notable for me, aside from the depth and breadth of his proposed solutions, is the personal and moral tone and approach. Hill doesn't pretend that his public policy prescriptions will be easy to follow, but he argues forcefully that they are the right thing to do.
