- Summary:
- Studies of wage and income inequality among U.S. citizens over the past thirty years have engendered the common wisdom that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. But is it really that simple? In Inequality in Living Standards since 1980 the authors contend that the evolution of income and wage inequalities offers only a partial picture of changes in prosperity in recent decades.
