I am occupying this space to help sell my book about envy and class warfare. I love the ironies of capitalism.
This concise work is aimed at presenting a philosophical look at economic disparity in the United States. Since this is a truly massive topic, this work is focused on specific aspects of this matter and is divided into sections based on these specifics. As might be imagined, I make no pretense of covering all aspects of economic disparity. Rather, I am focusing on matters that have tended to be at the forefront of the political debate in the United States in recent years. My overall objective is to provide a rational and unbiased (at least as far as that is possible) examination of these matters. My main hope is that this work will be of some use to the reader in sorting out some of these matters and in getting an enhanced understanding of the issues. I also hope to help the reader develop a better defense against some of the rhetoric and fallacies that are used all too often in the place of proper arguments.
Being a rational person (well, at least some of the time) and a philosopher I am open to the possibility that I am wrong in my view and in error in my arguments. As such, I invite people to present critical assessments of my work. My commitment is not to any specific agenda or ideology, but rather to the true and the good.
The work itself is divided into distinct sections. The first section, Economic Disparity, is a very brief look at some areas of economic disparity in the United States. The second section, Taxes, examines taxes from a philosophical perspective. The third section focuses on corporations—which might or might not be people. Fourth, I turn to the matters of class and class warfare. Not to worry, the revolution will be televised. Fifth, the state, democracy and the common good will be discussed. The book ends with envy, avarice and rhetoric.

You can fight the man by buying more of my books. If by “fight the man” you mean “buy more books.”
Mike,
I purchased a copy of Garvey and Stangroom’s “The Story of Philosophy” from the local bookstore. They had a copy available within 24 hours. However, the bookstore never heard of Mike LaBossiere. There was no listing on their publishing network. Perhaps you might want to explore other sales venues than Amazon.
Dennis,
Thanks. I have published via more traditional avenues in the past, but my experiences with the traditional publishers has been mixed. I do intend to make my eBooks available in print at some point, however the cost difference between a printed version versus an electronic versus is significant (my ebooks are usually 99 cents, a printed book would be about $10 with no royalties for me).
Interestingly, I have made far more through Amazon than all my published printed works (magazines and books). I’ve been published since 1989 and doing ebooks since 2010. For example, I made $1500 from my What Don’t You Know? over 4 years While I make $400+ a month selling my 99 cent books on Amazon.
Hi Mike,
Do you intend to make a copy of this book available on the iBookstore?
