Title: Lacking a wealth of insight
Review: If you want to get a better understanding of workers and the economy in the contemporary world, there must be a better book out there than Kapstein's. "Sharing the Wealth" seems to have been put together in a hurry, and consists almost entirely of paraphrased quotations from other writers. I have no idea how Kapstein got John J. Sweeney to recommend the book on the back cover; in fact, I have no idea how Kapstein got this book published, since he seems to have put so little effort into it. My recommendation to the left-leaning, economically-untrained reader (like me) would be to check out Dani Rodrik's "Has Globalization Gone Too Far?", a much more subtle, thorough and concise look at the way international trade is affecting the distribution of wealth in the world today.
