Now in paperback - Bill Moyers, Barbara Ehrenreich and many others explore the consequences of the growing economic divide in the United States.

Since the 1970s the US economy has been sending more and more of its rewards to fewer and fewer people. Once seen as a global exemplar of egalitarianism and middle-class opportunity, America has become the most unequal of developed nations. This quarter-century long trend has changed the texture of American life in ways that threaten the country's deepest values. Drawing on the best and latest research, Inequality Matters explores the real story the numbers tell about how America has changed.

Jim Lardner is a journalist and the founder of Inequality.org. David A. Smith is a senior fellow in Business, Society, and Democracy at Demos, a think and action tank in New York City. He previously served as Director of Public Policy at the AFL-CIO and as an aide to Senator Edward M. Kennedy.
