Geoffrey Gilbert, "Rich and Poor in America: A Reference Handbook"

This is just one indication of a three-decade-long increase in the gap between rich and poor that is on the minds of the public, politicians, the media, economists, and activists."Rich and Poor in America: A Reference Handbook" provides an in-depth analysis of - and possible solutions for - the growing disparity between those at the top of the economic ladder and everyone else, a disparity that has reached its highest level since the 1920s.Expertly researched and written, "Rich and Poor in America" explores a wide range of explanations for the trend that undercuts the U.S.'s "Land of Opportunity" image, including heavy immigration, weakening labor unions, globalization, and technological change.

Separate chapters look at the issue chronologically and from a global perspective, while biographical sketches provide fascinating portraits of some of the "winners" in our winner-take-all society, as well as leading scholars and activists working on this issue.copywriter rewrite:"Rich and Poor in America: A Reference Handbook" provides an in-depth analysis of the widening income gap in the United States - a situation where, over nearly three decades, fewer and fewer Americans have made significant financial strides while more and more have seen their real incomes remain the same or decrease.Objective, expertly researched and clearly written, "Rich and Poor in America" looks at a wide range of explanations for the income gap, including heavy immigration, weakening labor unions, globalization, and technological change.
