Jared co-created and co-edited the book Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power authored by Noam Chomsky, which hit #6 on The New York Times Bestseller list for paperback nonfiction the week of April the 16th 2017[10] and #1 in several categories on Amazon's Bestseller lists, including Income Inequality, Economic Policy, MacroEconomics, and Radical Political Thought.[11]
