Say "NO!' to YO-YO economics!

All Together Now
Common Sense
for a Fair Economy

All Together Now: Common Sense for a Fair Economy — by Jared Bernstein, senior economist of the Economic Policy Institute — explores how the modern-day "you're on your own" approach, or YO-YO Economics, has trumped a sense of collaboration and joint responsibility (a WITT — "we're in this together"— strategy) and thus distorted America's current political and economic debate. The book shows how runaway self-reliance not only has unbalanced the economic and political discourse, but also, and more importantly, has hamstrung efforts to develop effective solutions to shared social and economic problems.

A Chorus of Praise...

Jared Bernstein is to most economic writers what Red Bull is to decaf latte. In All Together Now he makes such a rousing case for mutual responsibility and shared risk that you'll leap out of your chair and into action. Everyone in the sub-billionaire class needs to read this book and send a gift copy to his or her elected officials.
—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch

This vitally important and readable book couldn't have arrived at a better time. With common sense and common decency, Bernstein shows where we've gone off course and how to find our way back.
—Robert B. Reich, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley, and former U.S. Secretary of Labor

Jared Bernstein is a passionate economist who provides hard data to describe the world as it is, and ideas to make the world more just. All Together Now should be read and debated by all who know that the status quo is failing us and seek a daring and bracing examination of the reasons for our discontent.
—E. J. Dionne, syndicated columnist, author of Why Americans Hate Politics and Stand Up Fight Back, and Professor at Georgetown University

Jared Bernstein provides a smart look at the American economy, one deeply rooted in American values. All Together Now explains the importance of having an economy that puts people first and ensures a fair shake for all.
—Senator John Edwards
