Description: "The strong U.S. economy in the late 1990s has validated the bold thesis of this book. Created Unequal shows that America's historically high inequality of pay and incomes is not the result of impersonal market forces such as technology or trade, but of bad economic policies over several decades and the poor performance they created.

Featuring a new preface on the improvements since 1994, Created Unequal is a book that reminds us we can reclaim our country through economic understanding, commonsense policy, and political action."--BOOK JACKET.
