I have gotten quite a few responses to my query on books on the changing distribution of income and wealth in the U.S. over the past quarter century and think it would be useful for all of us to have a compiled list. So here it is--with a comment if it seems useful. Missing info is just that. I've only included non-fiction, but have included all I got (even ones that seem somewhat tangential).
