Money and the Good Life.

Inequality is now rampant all over the world, particularly in the U.S., and they suggest that this was a development Keynes had not foreseen when he famously forecast that the need for growth would be finished by the end of the 20th century. Until inequality began to take off in the latter part of the 20th century, Americans actually reduced working hours faster than European countries, so they suggest that \"Americans aren't workaholics in the way conservative economists say,\" and look for alternate ways of living \"the good life.\" They discuss alternate economic models such as offering basic income or having a progressive consumption tax.
