Book Description This book provides a comprehensive look at the changes that have occured in the distributions of both income and wealth in the United States since 1960. Both historical and current data is used in the analysis of the interactive effects of these two distributions on the standards of living of various segments of American families. Such topics as the causes of poverty, the issues of the shrinking middle class, and the changing concentration of wealth holdings amongst the rich are all examined in detail. Winnick proposes a series of policy measures that should be pursued to move the United States toward more equitable distributions of both income and wealth. | ||
