The Wealth and Income of the People of the United States

"The Wealth and Income of the People of the United States" is a foundational economic study that examines the distribution of resources and earnings across the American populace during the early 20th century. Authored by Willford Isbell King, this work utilizes rigorous statistical methods to analyze the growth of national wealth and how it is shared among different segments of society. The book delves into complex topics such as the concentration of wealth, the impact of industrialization on income levels, and the comparative economic standing of various social classes.

By providing a detailed empirical look at the financial landscape of the United States, King offers insights into the economic forces that shaped the nation. This volume remains an essential resource for researchers and students of economic history, offering a window into the evolution of American prosperity and social inequality. Its systematic approach to data collection and interpretation set an early standard for national income accounting and continues to provide valuable context for understanding historical financial shifts and the development of the modern American economy.
