Many argue that conditions are stagnating for many, driving political polarization and threatening social stability. \u003cem\u003eGenerating Prosperity for Working Families in\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eRich Countries\u003c\/em\u003e investigates how common such a \"squeeze\" on middle-income earners has actually been, and what forces underlie it in terms of globalization, technology, and government policies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eGenerating Prosperity for Working Families in Rich Countries\u003c\/em\u003e presents the findings of a comprehensive analysis of performance in improving living standards across the wealthy nations of the OECD. It relates performance to overall economic growth, exploring why these often diverge substantially, and to the different models of capitalism or economic growth embedded in each country. Going beyond income, other indicators and aspects of living standards are also incorporated including non-monetary indicators of deprivation and financial strain, wealth and its distribution, and intergenerational mobility. Through looking across this broad canvas, this book teases out how ordinary households have fared in recent decades in these critically important respects, and how that should inform the quest for inclusive growth and prosperity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Nolan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198807058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198807056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford Univ PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Brian Nolan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001088000255,"sku":"9780198807056","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd5c1ac8-a20a-498c-a287-88568b2e2967.jpg?v=1751600029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/generating-prosperity-for-working-families-brian-nolan-9780198807056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
