Summary "This book chronicles the decline of the American foundational idea that a relative equality of wealth for citizens is essential to a well-functioning republican government. The author explains how egalitarianism gave way over time to an acceptance of economic disparity and hierarchy as a social reality in American society. The book provides a historical perspective on the gap between rich and poor that characterizes the contemporary United States"-- Provided by publisher.
