Overview of The Myth of American Inequality

Challenging everything you've heard about inequality, this Wall Street Journal Best Book reveals how government statistics dramatically overstate wealth gaps. With poverty potentially as low as 3% - not 11.6% - Gramm's Hayek Prize-winning analysis is reshaping economic policy debates nationwide.

The Hidden Truth Behind America's Economic Story

America's economic narrative is often portrayed through a lens of growing inequality, stagnant wages, and persistent poverty. Politicians and media outlets have long painted a picture of a nation where the rich get richer while everyone else struggles. But what if this widely accepted story is fundamentally flawed? What if our understanding of American inequality is based on statistical illusions rather than economic reality? The true picture of America's economic landscape reveals something remarkable: when properly measured, inequality is far less severe than commonly believed, poverty has been dramatically reduced, and living standards have improved substantially across all income groups. This isn't wishful thinking-it's what emerges when we correct the significant measurement errors that have distorted our economic understanding for decades. The gap between perception and reality stems from outdated statistical methods that fail to capture how Americans actually live and the resources they actually have available to them.
