<br/><br/>Paradise lost --  Going up --  Usual suspects --  Teeming shores --  Kudoka and the College Premium --  Offshore --  Unequal government --  The fall of Detroit --  Rise of the stinking rich --  Why it matters and what to do --  What to do. 
<br/><br/> The income gap in America has been blamed on everything from computers to immigration, but its causes and consequences call for a patient, non-partisan exploration. Noah explains not only how this "Great Divergence" has come about, but why it threatens American democracy--and most important, how we can begin to reverse it.
