The Price of Inequality

I have been reading Joseph Stiglitz's 2012 book, The Price of Inequality. The book is packed with revealing information about how the U.S. came to a situation where the rich get richer, the middle class get hollowed out, and the poor stagnate or become poorer.

Some of the material I have seen elsewhere (e.g., from Elizabeth Warren, Jacob Hacker, and Paul Pierson), but Stiglitz is extremely comprehensive and writes in an easy-to-understand way, so it is a great book to read.

I hope to read through the book and a number of other books on inequality, and then attempt to publish some op-eds and articles on the topic.
