This book could be the modern bible of the movement to harness labor's capital for working-class interests, and it couldn't be timelier.--Teresa Ghilarducci, Director, Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis (SCEPA) at The New School David H. Webber argues forcefully that the future of the American worker is inextricably bound with shareholder power. It is only when labor's capital is fully unleashed, Webber theorizes, that American workers will then be able to win back control of their destiny. This is an important book.--Steven Davidoff Solomon, Berkeley Center for Law and Business In The Rise of the Working-Class Shareholder, David Webber shares the inspirational story of a group of ingenious individuals who discovered a new source of power for the labor movement: shareholder activism. Webber provides a compelling new legal and policy framework for using labor's capital to advance members' interests both as workers and as investors saving for retirement.--Jennifer Taub, Vermont Law School A riveting, thorough, and thoughtful book that is not only a fast and fun read, but contributes wonderfully to a new and ongoing conversation about inequality, dark money, and populism in the electorate.--Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap
