Consumption and Social Welfare: Living Standards and their Distribution in the United States
Slesnick, Daniel T. (University of Texas, Austin)
Family income-based statistics on social welfare suggest that inequality has increased and poverty remained persistently high over the past twenty-five years. Yet consumption-based statistics yield rigorous and quite different estimates. Slesnick's examination reveals that the standard of living has grown significantly while inequality and poverty have decreased.
