Why such a long article? I guess because the [[Occupy Wall Street]] movement has made the issues raised in this book so topical, and because the book is unavailable in Google Books. The article still needs a lot fo work and I will endeavour to fix it up.--[[User:BoogaLouie|BoogaLouie]] ([[User talk:BoogaLouie|talk]]) 21:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC) |

Review
Why the Rich Are Getting Richer; American Politics and the Second Gilded Age by Robert C. Lieberman (Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs at Columbia University) in Foreign Affairs January/February 2011; excerpt ...
Income inequality in the United States is higher than in any other advanced industrial democracy and by conventional measures comparable to that in countries such as Ghana, Nicaragua, and Turkmenistan. It breeds political polarization, mistrust, and resentment between the haves and the have-nots and tends to distort the workings of a democratic political system in which money increasingly confers political voice and power.
