Blank offers the first comprehensive analysis of an economic trend that has been reshaping the United States over the past three decades: rapidly rising income inequality. In clear language, she provides an overview of how and why the level and distribution of income and wealth has changed since 1979, sets this situation within its historical context, and investigates the forces that are driving it. Among other factors, Blank looks closely at changes within families, including women's increasing participation in the work force. The book includes some surprising findings-for example, that per-person income has risen sharply among almost all social groups, even as income has become more unequally distributed. Looking toward the future, Blank suggests that while rising inequality will likely be with us for many decades to come, it is not an inevitable outcome. Her book considers what can be done to address this trend, and also explores the question: why should we be concerned about this phenomenon? 410 0$aWildavsky Forum Series 606 $aEquality - Economic aspects - United States 606 $aEquality -- Economic aspects -- United States 606 $aIncome distribution - United States 606 $aIncome distribution -- United States 606 $aUnited States - Economic conditions 606 $aUnited States -- Economic conditions 606 $aIncome distribution$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEquality$zUnited States 606 $aBusiness & Economics$2HILCC 606 $aEconomic History$2HILCC 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions 610 $a21st century economics. 610 $aamerican economy. 610 $aamerican income. 610 $aamerican wage structure. 610 $abooks for econ majors. 610 $abusiness. 610 $aeconomic patterns. 610 $aeconomic research. 610 $aeconomic researchers. 610 $aeconomy and family roles. 610 $aeconomy forecast. 610 $afuture of economy. 610 $agender pay gap. 610 $ahistory of us economy. 610 $aimproving the economy. 610 $aincome inequality. 610 $amacroeconomics. 610 $amoney and power. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apower and wealth. 610 $asocial scientists. 610 $aunequal pay. 610 $aus economics. 610 $aus income patterns. 610 $aus public policy. 610 $awomen and economy. 610 $awomen in workforce. 615 4$aEquality - Economic aspects - United States. 615 4$aEquality -- Economic aspects -- United States. 615 4$aIncome distribution - United States. 615 4$aIncome distribution -- United States. 615 4$aUnited States - Economic conditions. 615 4$aUnited States -- Economic conditions. 615 0$aIncome distribution$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEquality 615 7$aBusiness & Economics 615 7$aEconomic History 676 $a339.20973 700 $aBlank$b Rebecca M., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0122758 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822289803321 996 $aChanging Inequality$94018982 997 $aUNINA
