James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin
J. Travis Hale, The University of Texas at Austin

Summary

James K. Galbraith and Travis Hale argue that the IT bust and the subsequent fall in the NASDAQ led toward a convergence of income across American counties; yet amidst this movement toward greater equality, several counties have gone from rich to richer mainly due to increased government spending under the Bush administration.
