United States Income, Wealth, Consumption, and Inequality
Over the past 75 years, household income in the United States has increased substantially. Still, by some measures, income inequality has increased as well.

Corporate Governance and Sustainable Prosperity
How can we explain the persistent worsening of the income distribution in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s?

Specifically, the contributors analyze how the combined pressures of excessive corporate growth, international competition, and intergenerational dependence have influenced corporate investment over the past two decades. They also offer a perspective on how corporate investment in skill bases can support sustainable prosperity, with studies drawn from the machine tool, aircraft engine, and medical equipment industries.

Caught in the Net
A documentary history that studies the series of laws passed by the US Congress to establish the federal immigration and naturalization policies which have been put into effect since the founding of the nation--legislation which has been designed increasingly to restrict and curtail immigration, and which has been particularly harsh on Asian immigrants since its inception. Complete chapters are devoted to each major piece of legislation from the Reconstruction era to the Immigration Act of 1965. Documents attached to the end of each essay treat particular topics related to it. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
