Overview

To what extent are major social and political problems caused by basic income and unemployment trends? Is it possible to restore the kind of broadly-shared prosperity the U.S. once experienced before the early 1970s? Back to Shared Prosperity is a collection of 38 essays, in which some of the top economists of our time address these critical questions. Comprehensive and well-documented, this work provides a multi-disciplinary analysis of the economic, political, and social effects of the growing income inequality in the United States. Issues such as managerial greed, persistent joblessness, budgets and taxes, community development, the networked economy, and prospects for minorities are all discussed in detail.

Dozens of scholars in fields such as economics, politics, sociology, and urban planning, address the issues of poverty and wealth in the United States, examining the growing income inequality in the United States. Specific issues such as managerial greed, education, budgets and taxes, community and regional development, health care, and the globalization of financial markets are all examined. Twenty-three of the 38 articles incorporate descriptions of policy changes intended to restore shared prosperity. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
