Inequality in America: 10 Causes and 10 Cures

Everyone is talking about inequality in America. Thomas Piketty’s recent book Capital in the Twenty-First Century is a best-seller. However, Piketty proposes only one solution, increased estate taxes, that will be difficult to get through Congress. This book provides concrete ways to change the country to make it more equal, many of which have bipartisan support in Congress. Inequality in America has reached the flash point: we are entering a new era in the United States where our children are poorer than we are. Young adults are burdened with college loans, overpriced real estate and a bad labor market. Something has to be done. Inequality in America: 10 Causes and 10 Cures has some of the answers.
