Reflections -- Notes -- References -- IndexWith a timely new foreword by Robert Frank, this groundbreaking book explores the very meaning of happiness and prosperity in America today. Although middle-income families don't earn much more than they did several decades ago, they are buying bigger cars, houses, and appliances. To pay for them, they spend more than they earn and carry record levels of debt. Robert Frank explains how increased concentrations of income and wealth at the top of the economic pyramid have set off "expenditure cascades" that raise the cost of achieving many basic goals for the middle class. Writing in lively prose for a general audience, Frank employs up-to-date economic data and examples drawn from everyday life to shed light on reigning models of consumer behavior. He also suggests reforms that could mitigate the costs of inequality. Falling Behind compels us to rethink how and why we live our economic lives the way we do.Consumption (Economics) -- United StatesEquality -- Economic aspects -- United StatesIncome distribution -- United StatesMiddle class -- United States -- Economic conditionsElectronic books.Consumption (Economics) -- United States.Equality -- Economic aspects -- United States.Income distribution -- United States.Middle class -- United States -- Economic conditions.305.5/50973Frank Robert, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut323832DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910453092803321Falling Behind2476405UNINA04031nam 2200613 450 991046011650332120200520144314.00-86196-904-9(CKB)3710000000365725(EBL)1977963(SSID)ssj0001437498(PQKBManifestationID)12591983(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001437498(PQKBWorkID)11372587(PQKB)11687732(OCoLC)904138182(MdBmJHUP)muse47476(MiAaPQ)EBC1977963(Au-PeEL)EBL1977963(CaPaEBR)ebr11051528(OCoLC)905984438(EXLCZ)99371000000036572520150511h20122012 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAnimation art & industry /edited by Maureen FurnissHerts :JL,[2012]©20121 online resource (479 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-86196-680-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.ANIMATION:; ART & INDUSTRY; ANIMATION:; ART & INDUSTRY; Edited by; Maureen Furniss; Contents; Introduction; Maureen Furniss; Global; Perspectives; 1; Fine Art Animation; Cecile Starr [1987]; 2; Some Critical Perspectives on Lotte Reiniger; William Moritz [1996]; 3; it's mickey mouse; Esther Leslie [2002]; 4; Norman McLaren:; His UNESCO Work in Asia; Terence Dobson [2000]; 5; Conventions versus Clichés; Patrick Drazen [2003]; 6; My Neighbor Totoro; Helen McCarthy [1999]; 7; Glocalisation vs. Globalization: The Work of Nick Park and Peter Lord; Marian Quigley [2002]; 8Toward a Postmodern Animated Discourse: Bakhtin, Intertextuality and the Cartoon CarnivalTerry Lindvall & Matthew Melton [1994]; 9; Innocent Play or the Copycat Effect?
