People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of DiscontentWe all have the sense that the American economy and its government tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire.

We all have the sense that the American economy--and its government--tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.

Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy.

Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us--the U.S. citizens--and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.

An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.

Comfortable, relaxed fit semi-dress suit that fits true to size. Don't round up or down in size.
This suit fits true to size. We got the 9-10 size in white/tan for our above average height 7 year old, and the suit was just a little big (te Amazon algorithm recommended 9-10 based on past purchases and timing. He is the large side of his 2nd grade class, despite being one of the youngest, so I would say this suit would start fitting an average 8.5-9 year old boy. The fabric is a relaxed summer fabric, so good for semi-dress relaxed events. Our tan suit (and from the weathered gray/blue/green images, I assume all of the suits) seems like a casual menswear commercial shoot. The fabric isn't scratchy and our son said it is comfortable. It includes the picket flower, but I didn't think much of that plastic bloom.

Really cute suit for my son. Worth the price.
Color: Grey, Size: 10-11 Years, Color: Grey, Size: 10-11 Years
My son says he likes the color. He is 10 and we ordered the size 10 to 11 however he’s on the smaller side for 10 and he definitely has some room to grow so it will last us a while and it looks a little baggy on them for right now. However, the fabric is good quality. We like that it comes with a pocket square built-in and also the boutonniere for fancy occasions. I think this would be great for a wedding party or other occasions where you’d need more inexpensive but matching suits. Fabric quality reflects the price. The material is ok, but not gonna be an heirloom that’s passed down or anything. In the picture, he had shoved it into his clothes drawers and so it’s all wrinkled, but it actually does look great when it isn’t wrinkly. He’s been wearing this every week to Church on Sunday.

Good quality suit for kids
Color: Grey, Size: 10-11 Years, Color: Grey, Size: 10-11 Years
Comfortable, good-quality cotton/linen blend suit for kids. The suit is lined and he was excited that it has an inner pocket for a pen. I believe the suit fits true to size. In the photo I'm attaching, the suit is too large. I'll explain. We ordered a size 10-11 years, but my son is 9 years old. The suit size is actually a 150 (cm). My 9 year old son is currently 55 inches tall and weighs #61. His height of 55 inches translates to 140 cm - which explains why this is a little big/roomy on him. The product page has a size chart which translates the sizing in years (e.g. 9-10 years) into centimeters. If you measure your child before your order it will help you know what size to order. We haven’t ironed ours yet but plan to iron it when he's ready to wear it. We thought about exchanging it for the next size smaller but it's fall right now and this suit will be better for him in the spring/summer. We were pleased to see that this is a “normal” looking suit. Some of the dressy or fashionable clothes have some quirky or unusual elements to them. All in all, we’re pleased with this suit.
