The Middle Out:

The Rise of Progressive Economics

and a Return to Shared Prosperity

by Michael Tomasky (b1960)

New York: Doubleday, 2022

289 pages

Read this book for a detailed history of the failures of “free market” economics and the dreadful prescriptions of Milton Friedman who elevated “profit” above all other considerations.

Read The Middle Out to get some concepts and some vocabulary and some inspiration to shift public discourse toward the embrace of a philosophy of economics that puts energy into sustaining the public good and the best interests of all of us.
