What are Obama's economic policies. There has been a lot of grumbling among some progressives that his advisors are too pro-globalization and free market, but Obama counters that we don't have a free market, that he believes in a real free market, not a rigged one -- and that globalization treaties have to take into account union, wage and jobs in America issues.

John Talbott, the author of "Obamanomics," penned an exclusive commentary for BuzzFlash which can give you a taste of the book.

Obama also has been "reframing" economic issues to put the real challengs before the nation, instead of having many voters preoccupied with demagogic Republican "wedge issues" that divert the middle and working class from economic issues.

"Obamanomics" is a great primer into understanding a nuanced economic approach, one that is still evolving. But regardless of campaign concessions that make Obama appear to be moving toward the center, his campaign has been based, literally, on a bottoms up approach -- and that should carry over, as this insightful book argues, into his economic policies.

No, Obama is not a John Edwards populist in style, but he does believe that the majority of Americans should have a larger piece of the pie than they have been getting since Reagan. In short, Obama understands class oppression and what has really been behind the right wing coup in America: the redistribution of our nation's money supply more and more to the wealthy.

He will reverse that, to be sure.
