"Jobs Scam" a great read
(Bloomington, Illinois) June 28, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars

This could easily be a wonk book, full of heavy facts that bore the reader. Instead, Greg LeRoy has written an accessible and excellent book that details how corporate give aways are running rampant in our economy.

Any one concerned about their community, jobs or taxes will certainly want to pick this book up. There's great ammunition here plus some excellent recommendations on how to build an economy that serves the community, not the hit and run profit takers.
