Once there were princes and peasants and very few people in between. The extremes of wealth and poverty are still with us, but that shouldn't blind us to the fact that our societies have been utterly transformed for the better over the past century. As Daniel Waldenstrom makes clear in this authoritative account of wealth accumulation and inequality in the modern West, we are today both significantly richer and more equal. Using cutting-edge research and new, sometimes surprising, data, Waldenstrom shows that what stands out since the late 18oOs is a massive rise in the size of the middle class and its share of society's total wealth. Unfettered capitalism, it seems, doesn't have to lead to boundless inequality. The key to progress was political and institutional change that enabled citizens to become educated and better paid, and to amass wealth through housing and pension savings. Waldenstrom asks how we can consolidate these gains while encouraging the creation of new capital. The answer, he argues, is to pursue tax and social policies that raise the wealth of people at the bottom and in the middle rather than cutting the wealth of entrepreneurs at the top. Richer and More Equal is a benchmark account of one of the most profound and encouraging social changes in human history and a blueprint for continued progress. |
