Falling Behind: How Rising Inequality Harms the Middle Class $252.52 New – “I’ve been a skeptic. Bob Frank is persistent. He’s beginning to convince me.”–Thomas C. Schelling, author of “The Strategy of Conflict” “The arguments here are powerful and multidisciplinary. The crux is explaining how rising economic inequality causes harm to the middle class.

It also offers a policy reform–a progressive consumption tax–that serves to mitigate this harm. This is a gem of a book.”–Lee S. Friedman, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley”In this lively provocative book filled with memorable new examples, Bob Frank goes beyond his previous work (Luxury Fever, Winner-Take-All Society, and Choosing the Right Pond) and clarifies that ‘falling behind’ is a consequence not of envy but rather of the simple fact that a person’s evaluation of his own possessions ‘depends always and everywhere on context’–an unconscious comparison with his neighbor’s possessions or with his own previous possessions. His illuminating interchange with prominent discussants is a unique contribution of this book.”–Laurence Seidman, Chaplin Tyler Professor of Economics, University of Delaware”You may think that you understand what’s in Bob Frank’s earlier books, Choosing the Right Pond and Luxury Fever. You may even have read them. Nevertheless, if you pay even passing attention to the big economic policy questions, you should still read his latest contribution, Falling Behind. In this century, distributional concerns will top the policy agenda. This masterful essay will change how you think about them.”–Paul Romer, Stanford University”The most influential ideas often turn out to be those that seem obvious–once someone has had the wit to point them out. Robert Frank’s ideas in Falling Behind meet this test. In this short, lucid set of essays he explains exactly how and why an unequal society leaves almost all its members worse-off, including most of those who objectively are doing ‘better.’ This is a |

The Strategy of Conflict $29 ‘In eminently lucid and often charming language, Professor Schelling’s work opens to rational analysis a crucial field of politics, the international politics of threat, or as the current term goes, of deterrence. In this field, the author’s analysis goes beyond what has been done by earlier writers. It is the best, most incisive, and most stimulating book on the subject.’ |
