Journalist Timothy Noah has a keen interest in inequality and he has written one of the most grasping books tackling this subject and trying to figure out how the land of opportunity has seen social mobility ore difficult than Venezuela. This inequality is shifting regional differences and creating a more intense bitter political divide. Noah's book called "The Great Divergence" draws of the work of the best economists in exploring this intense debate of modern times and the relationship between business and government that has much to blame for continuing the growth of differences between peoples incomes.
Noah examines the usual shift in marrying patterns and union decline in the private industry has possible reasoning's for this divergence in America and the constant job loss and displacing of peoples incomes are obvious and likely deliberate plans of the ruling class to quell any power of political opposition. Mass un-skilled immigration has also created a new class of poor while helping drive other people nd their occupations from business and industry using this immigrant legal and illegal to their maximum benefit buy paying the minimum wages thy can get away. Noah goes through a chapter of the college premium and the computerization of the economy that restricted high-paying new jobs of the ecnoy only to be open to the highly educated and not to mention those able to acess this education through loans that benefits the banking bankster class. This sort of job extortion I believe is the greatest cause of the great divergence of peoples livelihood and incomes and a subject few are willing to take to task. America's colleges and universities as Noah explains also created this flux by raising tuition and fees and feeding the banks and pigs more in higher education and the high interest loaning and profit of it.
