| Summary | Annotation This comprehensive book analyzes the latest data available on household wealth using, as case studies, the US, Canada, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Finland over the 1990s and into the 21st Century. In the US, trends are highlighted in terms of wealth holdings among the low-income population, along with changes in wealth polarization, racial differences in wealth holdings and the dynamics of portfolio choices. The consensus between the authors is that wealth inequality has generally risen among these OECD countries since the early 1980s, though Germany stands out as an exception. In the case of the US, it is also noted that wealth holdings have generally failed to improve among low-income families and the racial wealth gap widened during the late 1980s. |
