The Changing distribution of earnings in OECD countries /

Atkinson, A B

The Changing distribution of earnings in OECD countries / A B Atkinson - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2008 - xxiii, 480p, 24cm.

This book is about how much people earn and why the distribution of earnings has been changing over time. The gap between the top and bottom in the United States has widened significantly since 1980. Why has this happened? Is it due to new technologies? What is the role of globalisation? Are there historical precedents? The book begins with the race between technology and education, and shows that continuing technical progress does not necessarily imply a continuing rise in dispersion.
