Silent Depression
Twenty-Five Years of Wage Squeeze and Middle Class Decline
23 August 1995
Description
Longtime observer of the American economy Wallace C. Peterson here offers a wake-up call.
The year 1973 marked a turning point, as Peterson makes clear in this carefully documented book. When several key economic indicators changed course, the "silent depression set in, resulting in problems for the shrinking middle class, the poor, and the American family." Peterson calls for strong medicine and closes with proposals for health care, education, and the tax system that will help speed the economy's recovery.
