The Causes of Economic Hardship for the Middle Class
Testimony submitted to the House Ways and Means Committee
January 31, 2007, Dean Baker
In his submitted testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee hearing, The Causes of Economic Hardship for the Middle Class,
Dean Baker argues that the upward redistribution of wealth over the last 25 years was primarily the result of policy changes and not simply the
natural workings of the market. He discusses four policy areas: trade and immigration, Federal
Reserve Board, labor-management, and corporate governance.
