UM EQUAL BALMS OFFERS A RADICALLY NEW
UNDERSTANDING OF THE ECONOMIC EVOLUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES, PROVIDING A COMPLETE
PICTURE OF THE UNEVEN PROGRESS OF AMERICA
FROM COLONIAL TIMES TO TODAY.
While other economic historians base their
accounts on American wealth, Peter Lindert and
Jeffrey Williamson focus instead on income-and
the result is a hold reassessment of the American
economic experience. America has been excep-
tional in its rising inequality after an egalitarian
start* but not in its long-run growth.
America had already achieved world income
leadership by 1700, not just in the twentieth
century as is commonly thought- Long before
independence, American colonists enjoyed higher
living standards than Britain---and America s
income advantage today is no greater than it wras
three hundred years ago. But that advantage was
lost during the Revolution, lost again during the
Civil War, and lost a third time during the Great
Depression, though it was regained after each
crisis- In addition. Lindert and Williamson show
how income inequality among Americans rose
steeply in rwo great waves-from 1774 to 1860 and
from the 19TOs to today--rising more than in any
other wealthy nation in the world. Lfn**ftd*zJ G iwzs
also demonstrates How the widening income gaps
have always touched every social gnxip, from the
richest to the poorest. The book sheds critical light
on the to roes thar shaped American income history-,
and situates thar history in a broad global context.
Economic writing at its most stimulating,
Gains provides a vitally needed perspec-
tive on who has benefited most from American
growth, and why.
