This describes the new release of the second edition of my book, The
Rich Get Richer: The Rise of Income Inequality in the United States and
the World.
I would like to thank Terry Boswell for reviewing the entire book prior
to the start of the new revision, and for again reviewing the theory
chapter after the new edition was completed.

The new edition continues my study of income inequality, using a
explicit World Systems perspective. It documents the erosion of the
middle class, and growing rates of poverty, crime, and violence. The
U.S., other industrial nations, and developing countries are all
examined. New information includes the working poor, Mexico and Nafta,
cross-country perceptions of inequality, mass media distortion,
political manipulation, corporate welfare and the overpaid CEOs of U.S.
multinational businesses.
