In this provocative book, a former United States senator, eminent economist, and a former senior leader at the Bureau of Labor Statistics challenge the prevailing consensus that income inequality is a growing threat to American society. By taking readers on a deep dive into the way government measures economic well-being, they demonstrate that our official statistics dramatically overstate inequality. Getting the facts straight reveals that the key measures of well-being are greater than the official statistics of the country would lead us to believe. Income inequality is lower today than at any time in post- World War II America. The facts reveal a very different and better America than the one that is currently described by policy advocates across much of the political spectrum. \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of American Inequality \u003c\/i\u003eprovides clear and convincing evidence that the American Dream is alive and well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phil Gramm, Robert Ekelund, John Early\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538167387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538167380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 5.98w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2022","brand":"Phil Gramm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44173222379775,"sku":"9781538167380","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a72b707-a809-4495-b5b0-c8507eb06ddb.jpg?v=1689791661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-myth-of-american-inequality-phil-gramm-9781538167380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
