Drifting Away From Our Ideals

Gar Alperovitz, The Democracy Collaborative: ''We often forget that it was once simply assumed the United States would move inevitably in the direction of ever greater equality. A 1963 American Economic Review article observed that 'most recent studies' of US economic history take for granted that 'since the end of the depression the nation s wealth has been redistributed and prosperity has been extended to the vast majority.'''
