In this eBook exclusive, Robert B. Reich urges Americans to get beyond mere outrage about the nation’s increasingly concentrated wealth and corrupt politics in order to mobilize and to take back our economy and democracy. Americans can’t rely only on getting good people elected, Reich argues, because nothing positive happens in Washington unless good people outside Washington are organized to help make those things happen after the election. But in order to be effectively mobilized, we need to see the big picture. Reich connects the dots for us, showing why the increasing share of income and wealth going to the top has hobbled jobs and growth for everyone else, while undermining our democracy; has caused Americans to become increasingly cynical about public life; and has turned many Americans against one another. He also explains why the proposals of the “regressive right” are dead wrong and provides a clear road map for what must be done instead. Here is a blueprint for action for everyone who cares about the future of America.

E-readers, such as the Amazon kindle, are becoming more and more popular. Millions have been sold, and chances are you know somebody with one. If you're thinking of joining that club, you may want to do some research before deciding if this is the right device for you. The following are frequently asked questions about the kindle:
Do you have to buy a kindle in order to read Amazon ebooks?

If you don't have an e-reader at all, you can still read kindle books. Google "kindle pc" or "kindle mac" to find Amazon's download page, and grab the software for free. Most smart phones also have kindle apps. Download one and then when you shop in the online bookstore, just click the tab to have your ebook "sent" to your kindle app (and you can even sync everything so you can read the same ebooks on your computer, phone, and ebook reader).
How much do ebooks cost? Are they less than traditional print books?
You can find a huge range, everything from free or 99 cents to $9.99 and up for new releases from mainstream authors. Self-published or indie authors tend to have lower priced offerings (just browse at Amazon to find loads of $0.99 to $2.99 ebooks in every genre and non-fiction as well), though quality can be hit or miss. Make sure to download the free sample before shelling out any money.
To find extra affordable offerings, try Smashwords.com. It's easy to browse for freebies there too. Whether you're looking for a $3 thriller or a free fantasy ebook, you can find quite the selection there. While it's predominantly a
