Final Distribution of Product of Labor Among US People
A study by Professor W J King of the University of Wisconsin concludes that since 1870 the national dividend has risen enormously due to advances in productive power and industry. The result is a higher standard of living, with greater per capita supply of economic goods, though living costs rise with quality and wants continue to grow. The period 1860-1900 saw improved welfare for workers, with more leisure, family prosperity, and broader respect for labor.
