The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth by Benjamin M. Friedman examines the political and social histories of the large Western democracies - particularly of the United States since the Civil War - distinguishing times of rising living standards from those of stagnation to illustrate how rising incomes render a society more open and democratic. He also warns that democratic values of wealthy countries such as the United States are at risk whenever incomes stagnate for extended periods.
