Learning "How The Poor Can Save Capitalism"

Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Maybe the one percent have all the money, but the other 99 percent do most of the consumer spending. 

That gives them economic power, if not political power.  And it is power than can be wielded. 

Entrepreneur and poverty activist John Hope Bryant has a few ideas on how that power can be used. 

He presents the ideas in his book How the Poor Can Save Capitalism: Rebuilding the Path to the Middle Class.
