How Much is Enough - R & E Skidelsky

An attempt to build a moral argument against rampant materialism.  Some interesting ideas, but my attention kept wandering as the points or arguments were too wordy and long-winded.  It would probably make a good longish essay.  Your ideas lose power when you spin them out too long.  I am writing this a couple of weeks after finishing the book, and I can't remember much.
At the end of the book, there are some interesting ideas on how to address the expanding income gap and deal with income redistribution to reintroduce an element of choice into work. - that's all I remember.
