He contends that inequality is not the result of impersonal market forces but of specific government decisions and the poor economic performance they created. Featuring a new afterword on wage shifts since 1994, Created Unequal is a rousing book that reminds us we can reclaim our country through economic understanding, commonsense policy, and political action. "Created Unequal is not light reading, but Galbraith's elegant arguments, passionate exposition, and profound conclusions make it worth the trouble. . . . [Galbraith] remind[s] us that the economy is and ought to be run by humans, not humans by the economy."—Joanna Ciulla, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Created Unequal is a lucid and wise explanation of why America seems to be prospering while most Americans aren't. James Galbraith takes steady aim at a variety of widely accepted economic myths and hits most of them dead center. This book will tell you a lot about the way your economic world really works."—Jeff Faux, President of the Economic Policy Institute "[A] brilliant and iconoclastic examination of the major social trend of our time."—Michael Lind, Washington Monthly </div> 1176733 1998 Created Unequal: The Crisis in American Pay total:1|5:1| 1 5 7 0 0 0 false false Sat Apr 25 14:07:45 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 14:07:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Dec 02 07:38:48 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 07:39:06 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 06 07:17:11 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 06 07:17:19 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Oct 01 15:54:41 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 15:54:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Sep 25 12:05:23 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 25 12:05:23 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Nov 07 01:08:45 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 07 01:08:45 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Wed Oct 03 15:02:22 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 03 15:02:22 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1188735
