Wage inequality in the US
February 12, 2007
By Ken Worsley
Ok, it’s not strictly related to Japan, but I found this trove of information and believe it’s worth passing on. Thanks to The Economist’s View for bringing the following very interesting essays concerning income inequality in the US to light:
Has US income inequality really increased? by Alan Reynolds, published at the Cato Institute.
When Inequality Matters by David Schmidtz, also published at the Cato Institute.
Ben Bernanke is Right by Gary Burtless, at the Brookings Institute.
Income Distribution Heresies by Alan Reynolds - a response to the responses to his original paper above. Also published at the Cato Institute.
