What Has Happened To The Quality Of Life In The Advanced Industrialized Nations?

Throughout the 1990s the US expanded its lead over other advanced industrial nations in terms of conventionally measured per capita income. However, it is not clear that welfare levels in America have grown concomitantly with per capita income, or that Americans are necessarily better off than citizens of other advanced countries. The contributors to this volume investigate to what extent welfare has increased in the United States over the postwar period and provide a rigorous examination of both conventional measures of the standard of living, as well as more inclusive indices.Wolff, Edward N. is the author of 'What Has Happened To The Quality Of Life In The Advanced Industrialized Nations?' with ISBN 9781843761938 and ISBN 1843761939.
