Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the significant upward redistribution of income in the United States over the past four decades, attributing it to deliberate policy decisions rather than globalization or market forces. It highlights how various rules regarding trade, patents, copyrights, corporate governance, and macroeconomic policy have been manipulated to suppress wages for ordinary workers while benefiting the wealthiest individuals. Through this analysis, the author sheds light on the systemic factors contributing to income inequality.
