An intelligent person’s guide to the panic of 2008
LIAQUAT AHAMED

In the gentle and modulated tones of a true scholar, Solow set about doing the opposite. First he described the pronounced shift of America’s wealth away from wages and salaries and toward business income in the past quarter of a century. Corporate profits as a share of the American economy had recently climbed to their highest level since the eve of the Great Depression and wages had fallen to their lowest, Solow observed.
