      abstract = {There are more rich people and more poor people in our  country than ever before. That widening gap means dealing  with one big, uncomfortable truth: the middle is growing  thinner and thinner. Globally renowned economist Tyler  Cowen explains how this happened: high earners are taking  ever more advantage of computers and achieving ever-better  results. Meanwhile, low earners who haven't committed to  learning the new technologies have poor prospects. Nearly  every business sector relies less and less on manual labor  for high-value jobs, and this fact is forever changing the  world of work and wages. About 3/4 of the jobs created in  the United States since the great recession pay $13.52 an  hour or less--there is no longer a steady, secure life  somewhere in the middle. Here, Cowen reveals what the new  features of this economy mean for taxes,  government  spending, employee benefits, debt and education. Most  importantly, Cowen identifies the best path forward for  workers and entrepreneurs and provides readers with a road  map to a new economic landscape.--From publisher  description.},
