Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a work of historical analysis, based upon census data and authoritative reports in order to paint an unflinching picture of the United States' rapid increase in wealth inequality in the early 20th century. The author acknowledges differing opinions on the subject but through statistical analysis maintains that this inequality was far more extreme than previously assumed. The author maintains that the true indicators of wealth distribution at this time reveal a strikingly small number of wealthy individuals, especially when compared to the vast number of citizens living at or below the poverty line. The book argues that while the nation's overall wealth increased dramatically, the net incomes of private monopolies and trusts outstripped this increase, resulting in a situation where the majority of Americans were becoming increasingly dependent on a small, wealthy elite. The book concludes that the unprecedented income inequality of this era directly contributed to the social unrest and labor strife that characterized the early 20th century, and that, had this glaring imbalance not been corrected, it could easily have led to revolution and widespread violence.
