{"product_id":"united-states-income-wealth-consumption-diana-furchtgott-roth-9780197518199","title":"United States Income, Wealth, Consumption, and Inequality","description":"Over the past 75 years, household income in the United States has increased substantially. Still, by some measures, income inequality has increased as well. This has been the subject of contested public policy and political discourse. The question still stands: How can we better articulate the nuanced changes in American incomes? It is difficult to have conversations about income inequality without an agreed-upon set of terms, metrics, and concepts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnited States Income, Wealth, Consumption, and Inequality\u003c\/em\u003e, edited by Diana Furchtgott-Roth, examines the trends in income growth in the United States and explores various measures of income, including market, post-tax, and post-transfer income. Within each chapter, distinguished experts explain how income and wealth--and the way we measure them--have changed in the United States, which demographic groups have benefited from these changes, and how mobility has changed over time and over generations. Specific chapters explain the roles of gender and race. The resulting book is relevant to modern international policy, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and addresses what can be done to increase economic mobility in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Furchtgott-Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197518192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197518199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021","brand":"Diana Furchtgott-Roth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942867861759,"sku":"9780197518199","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b628687c-7bed-4582-824b-f6a12fc7a591.jpg?v=1681494822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/united-states-income-wealth-consumption-diana-furchtgott-roth-9780197518199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
