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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Myth of American Inequality\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprovides clear and convincing evidence that the American Dream is alive and well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donation: AEI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52399657779431,"sku":"Academic Perspectives","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/3680\/9959\/files\/41_NnOq6ZaL._SY445_SX342_FMwebp.webp?v=1784830026","url":"https:\/\/jfbooks.org\/zh-hans\/products\/9781538167380","provider":"JF Books | 季風書園","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
