The Wealth Divide

Many economists argue that the Great Recession and the Occupy movement are just two symptoms of a deep issue in the United States: wealth is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. Are these economists right? Should wealth be distributed equally? Should it be distributed at all? Why do patterns of wealth seem to fall along racial and ethnic lines? Is taxation of the rich to help the poor ethical? Experts analyze these issues and more from diverse perspectives, offering nuanced interpretations of the problems and novel solutions. Writers include Jonathan Rauch, Robert A. Levy, and Thomas Sowell.
