Inequality and poverty have returned with a vengeance in recent decades. To reduce them, we need fresh ideas that move beyond taxes on the wealthy. Anthony B.

In an era of great upheaval and transformation, the Progressive Movement emerged as a beacon of hope for a more just and equitable society. This book explores the complexities of this movement, delving into its origins, key figures, and lasting impact on American society. Through a comprehensive examination of economic, political, and social issues, we uncover the driving forces behind the Progressive Movement and the transformative changes it brought about. From the fight for workers' rights and social justice to the battles for women's suffrage, civil rights, and environmental conservation, this book sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of this remarkable period. The Progressive Era was a time of widespread discontent. Economic inequality, rampant corruption, and social injustice plagued the nation. In response, a diverse group of reformers and activists arose, united by a shared belief in the power of progressive change. They sought to challenge the status quo, break the grip of big business, and create a society that worked for all Americans. This book brings to life the stories of the Progressive Movement's leaders, from Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to Jane Addams and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. We witness their tireless efforts to enact reforms, overcome resistance, and build a better future for all. The Progressive Movement achieved significant successes during its time. It led to the passage of landmark legislation, the establishment of new government agencies, and a fundamental shift in the relationship between government and society. However, the movement also faced challenges and limitations, which this book examines in detail. The Progressive Movement: Social and Political Change in the Gilded Age is a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal era in American history. It is a story of struggle, resilience, and the enduring power of progressive ideals. If you like this book, write a review!
Handbook of Income Inequality Measurement

Amartya Sen "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow Ah, but I was so much older then, I am younger than that now. Thus sang Bob Dylan in 1964. Approbation of equality varies not only with our age (though it is not absolutely clear in which direction the values may shift over one's life time), but also with the spirit of the times. The 1960s were good years for singing in praise of equality. The spirit of the present times would probably be better reflected by melodies in admiration of the Federal Reserve System. And yet the technical literature on the evaluation and measurement of economic inequality has grown remarkably over the last three decades. Even as actual economic policies (especially in North America and Europe) have tended to move towards focusing on virtues other than the avoidance of economic inequality, the professional literature on assessing and gauging economic inequality has taken quite a jump forward. A great many different problems have been addressed and effectively sorted out, and new problems continue to be posed and analyzed. The Contents: A Review Jacques Silber has done a great service to the subject by producing this collection of admirablyhelpful and illuminating papers on different aspects of the measurement of income inequality. The reach of this collection is quite remarkable. Along with a thorough overview from the editor himself, the major areas in this complex field have been carefully examined and accessibly discussed.
