It's ground breaking premise is that the distribution of economic resources in America is such that 1% of the population (the ruling class) controls 47% of the net financial wealth, while 19% of the population controls 44% of the net financial wealth (managerial class) and 80% of the population divides up 9% of the net financial wealth. The impact on society of having a ruling class is huge, as is the impact on the rest of the world. Kivel is an expert violence prevention educator, activist, and writer. His thesis in You Call This A Democracy? is nothing less than revolutionary, and it is carefully explained, documented, researched, referenced and illustrated. In addition to a hard hitting, fast moving definition of the power elite system currently in play, You Call This A Democracy? contains a workshop study guide, resources list including a videography vid·e·og·ra·phy n.
