The Myth Of American Inequality Av Phil Gramm, Robert Ekelund, John Early

<p><b>A </b><b><i>Wall Street Journal</i></b><b> Best Book of 2022: Politics • Winner of the 2024 Hayek Book Prize, Manhattan Institute</b><br>Everything you know about income inequality, poverty, and other measures of economic well-being in America is wrong. 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. <i>The Myth of American Inequality </i>provides clear and convincing evidence that the American Dream is alive and well.</p>
