The Great American Jobs Scam By Greg LeRoy
A stunning expose of how prominent companies--like Wal-Mart, Bank of America, Dell Computers, and many others--extort millions of dollars worth of tax breaks and giveaways from communities in return for the promises of well-paying jobs and higher tax revenues. A promise that is almost never kept. Berrett-Koehler Publishers. Hardcover, $24.95. www.bkcurrents.com
