Levy is the coauthor, with Jay Levy, of Profits and the Future of American Society, published by HarperCollins in 1983.[6] Forbes magazine praised the book for explaining "why squeezing business profits for the alleged benefit of the poor or of the working man is a self-defeating exercise. It leads not to the satisfaction of human needs but to inflation and unemployment."[7]
