Love this book

I think this book is really important - walks through the analysis of how laws are stuck in the 1950's, as if people stay in the same job for their career, aren't freelancing much of the time and are part of single-wage-earner families. It's a real eye-opener, very disturbing and points out some fundamental problems with current US laws. I think this should be required reading.
