In: Studies in Poverty, Inequality and Social Exclusion
Relentlessly, the wide health gap between different groups of people living in Britain continues to get even wider. This book presents new evidence (which was not available to the government's Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health) on the size of the gap, and the extent to which the gap is widening. In particular, new geographical data are presented and displayed in striking graphical form. It challenges whether the government is concerned enough about reducing inequalities and highlights the living conditions of the million people living in the least healthy areas in Britain. It presents explanations for the widening health gap, and addresses the implications of this major social problem. In the light of this evidence the authors put forward social policies which will reduce the health gap in the future. The widening gap synthesises all the information available to date and should be read alongside the report of the evidence presented to the Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health (Inequalities in health, The Policy Press, 1999) and by all those concerned with reducing health inequalities.

U.S. velocity of base money exhibits three distinct trends since 1950. After rising steadily for thirty years, it flattens out in the 1980s and falls substantially in the 1990s. This paper explores whether the observed secular movements in velocity can be accounted for exclusively by endogenous responses to changing expectations about monetary and fiscal policy. We use a model with two key features: a substitute for money in transactions and an array of assets that includes money, nominal bonds, and physical capital. The model maps policy expectations into portfolio decisions, making equilibrium velocity a function of expected future money growth, tax rates, and government spending. When expectations are estimated using Bayesian updating, simulated velocity matches the trends in actual velocity surprisingly well.

This book examines the heroic spirit of French industrial capitalism prior to World War I, and the role certain industrialists played in ensuring the success and stability of the country's economic and political order. It focuses in particular on the success of innovative manufacturers in France's chief industrial centers, the Nord, Loire, and Lorraine, where failing industrialists were saved through the introduction of new manufacturing techniques. It was only when Socialists abandoned revolutionary aims that they were able to successfully compete against their ^Iprogressiste^R rivals. Democr

Discusses the nature & implications of increasing wage disparities between workers & high-level managers in the US. Although the continued decline of workers' real wages & the vast growth of wages among the higher ranks of corporations has been well documented, it is argued that little research has recognized the mutual dependence of these trends. Data from the Current Population Surveys, 1979-1993, & household surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are drawn on to construct an index of real spendable hourly earnings (adjusted for taxes & inflation), which evidences a continual decline in take-home pay for the lower 80% of all wage earners since the early 1970s. This dramatic decline in wages has accentuated poverty, adversely affected living standards, & forced millions to work longer hours. Contrary to the reality of US trends, analysis of foreign & domestic corporations suggests that companies utilizing more cooperative worker relations have evidenced higher levels of productivity in combination with increased wages. Overcoming these wage disparities & their devasting impacts requires a dramatic increase in the minimum wage, procedural changes to facilitate the establishment of unions, & investment incentives for companies with more egalitarian wage policies. 1 Table.
