The Equality Quagmire

Date: June 6, 2007

Author: Robert J. Samuelson

QUOTE: [Economic inequality] promises to be a hot issue in the 2008 election. Until now, most economists have blamed the growing pay gap on skill differences caused by the explosion of computer technologies. Levy and Temin contend (correctly) that this is too simple; they also blame a shift in social norms and business practices.
